The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a notice under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, inviting public comments on proposed data collection projects related to police operations on its campus. These projects involve forms for collecting incident reports, issuing police warnings, conducting background checks for potential hires, and allowing extended access for visitors. The NIH aims to obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for these projects for the next three years. Public comments are encouraged and should be submitted within 60 days of the publication date.
Simple Explanation
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) wants to make new rules for its campus police to collect information using forms, and they're asking people to share their thoughts before they start using them. They need to make sure the forms are useful, not too hard to fill out, and that they keep everyone's information safe and secure.
