Need and Use of Information
Collection: Sharing research data is
integral to the mission of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) as it advances
our understanding of factors that
influence health and disease, while also
providing opportunities to accelerate
research through the power of
combining large, information-rich
datasets. To promote robust sharing of

Form. In addition, to keep pace with
changes in genomics research, NIH has
developed a Data Agnostic Submission
Form to accept submission of nongenomic data generated with genomic
data.
Requesters interested in using
controlled-access human data for
secondary research must apply through
the dbGaP Authorized Access System
and be granted permission from the
relevant NIH Data Access Committee
(DAC). As part of the application
process, requesters and their institutions
provide basic information, such as the
proposed research use of the data, and
agree to the terms of access delineated
in the Data Use Certification agreement.
Beginning on January 25, 2025,
requesters and their institutions are
expected to attest that their systems or,
if applicable, their third-party IT system
or Cloud Service Provider secure the
data according to standards set for in the
NIH Security Best Practices for Users of
Controlled-Access Data (https://
sharing.nih.gov/sites/default/files/
flmngr/NIH-Security-BPs-for-Users-ofControlled-Access-Data.pdf). This
attestation will be a part of completing
the request in the dbGaP Authorized
Access System.
NIH has developed online forms and
digital interfaces, available either as
PDF files or through dbGaP, to minimize
burden for researchers and their
institutional officials completing the
study registration (i.e., Study
Registration Information Form),
attesting to security standards in the
data access request, and submitting
data.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours for
all respondents across all forms is
25,950 hours.

human and non-human genomic data
from a wide range of large-scale
genomic research, and to provide
appropriate protections for research
involving human data, NIH established
the Database of Genotypes and
Phenotypes (dbGaP) and issued the NIH
Genomic Data Sharing (GDS) Policy
(https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/
notice-files/NOT-OD-14-124.html). The
Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes
(dbGaP) was developed to archive and
distribute the data results of eligible
NIH-funded research studies that have
investigated the interaction of genotype
(the genetic constitution of an
individual organism) and phenotype
(the set of observable characteristics of
an individual resulting from the
interaction of its genotype with the
environment) in humans. The NIH GDS
Policy applies to NIH-funded research
that generates large-scale human or nonhuman genomic data as well as the use
of these data for subsequent research.
Human genomic data submissions,
controlled-access genomic data, and
related phenotypic data are managed
through the database of Genotypes and
Phenotypes (dbGaP); dbGaP is
administered by the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part
of the National Library of Medicine at
NIH.
Under the NIH GDS Policy, all
investigators who receive NIH funding
to conduct large-scale genomic research
are expected to register studies with
human genomic data in dbGaP. As part
of the study registration process,
investigators must provide basic study
information, such as the types of data
that will be submitted to dbGaP and a
description of the study, via a form
provided by the funding NIH institute.
While individual NIH institutes
currently use different forms, NIH seeks
to harmonize the current forms into a
single Study Registration Information

Coast Guard
[Docket No. USCG–2025–0193]

Cancellation of Obsolete Navigation
and Vessel Inspection Circulars
Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Announcement of decision.
AGENCY:

The Coast Guard announces
the cancellation of three obsolete
Navigation and Vessel Inspection
Circulars (NVICs). NVICs are guidance
documents issued by the Coast Guard
that do not have the force of law.
However, NVICs ensure Coast Guard
inspections and other regulatory actions
conducted by field personnel are
complete and consistent. Similarly, the
marine industry and the general public
rely on NVICs as a way to assess how
the Coast Guard will enforce certain
regulations or conduct various marine
safety programs. Thus, it is important
that the public is made aware when
NVICs are cancelled so as to avoid
confusion.

SUMMARY:

The NVICs were cancelled on
July 2, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
information about this document call or

A Navigation and Vessel Inspection
Circular (NVIC) provides detailed
guidance about the enforcement or
compliance with a certain Federal
marine safety regulations and Coast
Guard marine safety programs. While
NVIC’s are non-directive, meaning that
they do not have the force of law, they
are important ‘‘tools’’ for helping the
public comply with the law. To best
serve the public and maritime industry,
the Coast Guard is reviewing and
actively managing its inspections policy
to ensure that all published NVICs are
consistent with current practices.
The Coast Guard is issuing this
document under 5 U.S.C. 552. This
document serves to inform the public
about the cancellation and removal of
certain obsolete and outdated Coast
Guard NVICs. The Coast Guard wishes
to reduce confusion to the public by
removing NVICs that do not reflect
current practices and that potentially
conflict with more modern guidance.
NVICs Being Cancelled
1. NVIC 11–91 OCEAN TOW OF
JACKUP DRILLING UNITS called
attention to the International
Association of Drilling Contractors
(IADC) booklet entitled ‘‘General Ocean
Tow recommendations for Jackup
Drilling Units’’ dated February 13, 1991.
The only purpose of the NVIC was to
call attention to this publication. It has
no additional guidance, and the
guidance referenced in the NVIC is now
dated and no longer needed.

2. NVIC 10–97 GUIDELINES FOR
CARGO SECURING MANUAL
APPROVAL provided guidance on the
applicability, preparation, and approval
of Cargo Securing Manuals (CSM). The
NVIC discussed the initiation of a
rulemaking that would specify U.S. flag
vessel CSM responsibilities, establish
U.S. CSM Approval Authority
responsibilities, and identify
application and selection procedures for
organizations seeking U.S. CSM
Approval Authority delegation. This
rulemaking is complete, and the
regulations can be found in 33 CFR part
97. The NVIC is no longer needed.
3. NVIC 8–00 GUIDANCE
REGARDING ENFORCEMENT OF THE
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR
SAFE CONTAINERS (CSC), 1972, FOR
FREIGHT CONTAINERS WITH ONE
DOOR REMOVED provided guidance
regarding the transportation of
commodities in freight containers
meeting the International Convention
for Safe Containers (CSC) construction
and inspection requirements, where one
door has been removed to provide extra
ventilation for cargoes being
transported. Guidance includes marking
of the Safety Approval Plate and testing
requirements. CSC was updated in 2010
and 2013 to include standards specific
to the marking and structural testing
requirements for one door off operation.
The NVIC is no longer needed.
Dated: July 2, 2025.
