Background Information on the RoC: 

Published biennially, each edition of the 

RoC is cumulative and consists of 

substances newly reviewed in addition 

to those listed in previous editions. For 

each listed substance, the RoC contains 

a substance profile, which provides 

information on cancer studies that 

support the listing—including those in 

humans and animals and studies on 

possible mechanisms of action, 

information about potential sources of 

exposure to humans, and current 

Federal regulations to limit exposures. 

The 14th RoC, the latest edition, was 

published on November 3, 2016 

(available at https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ 

go/roc14). 

Background Information on NTP PeerReview Panels: NTP panels are 

technical, scientific advisory bodies 

established on an ‘‘as needed’’ basis to 

provide independent scientific peer 

review and advise NTP on agents of 

public health concern, new/revised 

toxicological test methods, or other 

issues. These panels help ensure 

transparent, unbiased, and scientifically 

rigorous input to the program for its use 

in making credible decisions about 

human hazard, setting research and 

testing priorities, and providing 

information to regulatory agencies about 

alternative methods for toxicity 

screening. NTP welcomes nominations 

of scientific experts for upcoming 

panels. Scientists interested in serving 

on an NTP panel should provide their 

current curriculum vitae to Canden 

Byrd by email: canden.byrd@icf.com. 

The authority for NTP panels is 

provided by 42 U.S.C. 217a; section 222 

of the Public Health Service Act, as 

amended. The panel is governed by the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), which 

sets forth standards for the formation 

and use of advisory committees.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

National Institutes of Health (NIH) has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) a request for review 

and approval of the information 

collection listed below. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

information collection are best assured 

of having their full effect if received 

within 30-days of the date of this 

publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and/or 

suggestions regarding the item(s) 

contained in this notice, especially 

regarding the estimated public burden 

and associated response time, should be 

directed to the: Office of Management 

and Budget, Office of Regulatory Affairs, 

OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or by 

fax to 202–395–6974, Attention: Desk 

Officer for NIH.

request more information on the 

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the data collection plans and 

instruments, contact: Dr. Jennifer 

Guimond, Project Clearance Liaison, 

Office of Science Policy, Reporting, and 

Program Analysis, Eunice Kennedy 

Shriver National Institute of Child 

Health and Human Development, 

National Institutes of Health, 31 Center

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposed information collection was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on August 28, 2017, page 40778 

(82 FR 40778) and allowed 60 days for 

public comment. No public comments 

were received. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow an additional 30 days 

for public comment. 

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National 

Institute of Child Health and Human 

Development (NICHD), National 

Institutes of Health, may not conduct or 

sponsor, and the respondent is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection that has been extended, 

revised, or implemented on or after 

October 1, 1995, unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

In compliance with section 

3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. 

Proposed Collection: Generic 

Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery–0925–0643, Expiration Date 

10/31/2014, REINSTATEMENT 

WITHOUT CHANGE, Eunice Kennedy 

Shriver National Institute of Child 

Health and Human Development 

(NICHD), National Institutes of Health 

(NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The proposed information 

collection activity provides a means to 

garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide information 

about the NICHD’s customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences 

and expectations, provide an early 

warning of issues with service, or focus 

attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
52068 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2017 / Notices 

NICHD and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as: Timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

will be assessed to plan and inform 

efforts to improve or maintain the 

quality of service offered to the public. 

If this information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the NICHD’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The NICHD will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: the target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

4,950.
