SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2018 (83 FR 53885) and allowed 60 days for public comment. One public comment was 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 approval of the information collection listed below.

Proposed Collection: Investigational Agent Accountability Record Forms in the Conduct of Investigational Trials for the Treatment of Cancer, 0925-0613, Expiration Date 3/31/2019, REVISION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Need and Use of Information Collection: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) holds the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis/Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (NCI/DCTD/CTEP) and the Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) responsible, as a sponsor of investigational drug trials, to assure the FDA that systems for accountability are being maintained by investigators in its clinical trials program. Data obtained from the Investigational Agent Accountability Record Forms (aka. Drug Accountability Record Forms—DARF) are used to track the dispensing of investigational anticancer agents from receipt from the NCI to dispensing or administration to patients. Requirements for the tracking of investigational agents under an Investigational New Drug Application are outlined in Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CRF) part 312. NCI and/or its auditors use this information to ensure compliance with federal regulations and NCI policies. Previously, the investigator registration forms and process were part of this submission. These forms were more appropriately submitted and approved under the CTEP Branch and Support Contracts Forms and Surveys in July 2018 (OMB No. 0925-0753; Expiration Date 7/31/2021). Thus, the investigator registration forms are no longer included in this request.

OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden are 3,033 hours.
