SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed information collection was 
previously published in the Federal Register on July 28, 2017 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 National Cancer Institute (NCI), 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

    Proposed Collection: Specimen Resource Locator, 0925-0703 
Reinstatement without Change, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National 
Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: The availability of 
specimens and associated data is critical to increase our knowledge of 
cancer biology, and to translate important research discoveries to 
clinical application. The discovery and validation of cancer prevention 
markers require access, by researchers, to quality clinical 
biospecimens. In response, to this need, the National Cancer 
Institute's (NCI) Cancer Diagnosis Program has developed, and is 
expanding, a searchable database: Specimen Resource Locator (SRL). The 
SRL allows scientists in the research community and the NCI to locate 
specimens needed for their research. The SRL will list all NCI 
supported repositories and their links. This administrative submission 
is an on-line form that will collect information to manage and improve 
a program and its resources for the use of all scientists. This 
submission does not involve any analysis.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 105.

                                                            Estimated Annualized Burden Hours
