 SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Cancer Institute, the National Cancer Institute (NIH) will publish periodic summaries to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. *Proposed Collection:**Title:*
                         Investigator Registration and Financial Disclosure for Investigational Trials in Cancer Treatment (NCI). 
                        *Type of Information Collection Request:*
                         Existing Collection in use without an OMB Control Number. 
                        *Need and Use of Information Collection:*
                         Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations require sponsors to obtain information from the investigator before permitting the investigator to begin participation in investigational studies. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), as a sponsor of investigational drug trials, has the responsibility to assure the FDA that investigators in its clinical trials program are qualified by training and experience as appropriate experts to investigate the drug. In order to fulfill these requirements, a standard Statement of Investigator (FDA Form 1572 modified), Supplemental Investigator Data Form, Financial Disclosure Form and Curriculum vitae (CV) are required. The data obtained from these forms allows the NCI to evaluate the qualifications of the investigator, identify appropriate personnel to receive shipment of investigational agent, ensure supplies are not diverted for inappropriate protocol or patient use and identify financial conflicts of interest. Comparisons are done with the intention of ensuring protocol, patient safety and drug compliance for patient and drug compliance for patient safety and protections. *Frequency of Response:*
                         Annually. *Affected Public:*
                         Public sector, businesses other for-profit. Federal agencies or employees, non-profit institutions and a very small number of private practice physicians. *Type of Respondents:*
                         Health care investigators. The annual reporting burden is limited to those physicians who choose to participate in NCI sponsored investigational trials to identify new medicinal agents to treat and relieve those patients suffering from cancer. It is estimated that the total annual burden will be 8,564 hours, and include 17,128 investigators, for this project (see Table 1). Table 1—Estimates of Annual Burden
