The information on the form is necessary for the approving official to reach a decision on whether to allow a Guest Researcher to use NIH facilities, or whether to accept volunteer services offered by a Special Volunteer. If the original assignment is extended, another form notating the extension is completed to update the file. In addition to NIH Form 590, Guest Researchers fill a separate Guest Researcher Agreement, NIH Form 590-1, and Special Volunteers fill a separate Special Volunteer Agreement, NIH Form 590-2. These additional forms are the legal instruments for the Guest Researcher or Special Volunteer to acknowledge and agree to the conditions and responsibilities of their assignment at NIH. No revisions are proposed for any of the three forms currently. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 652. <GPOTABLE COLS="6" OPTS="L2,nj,i1" CDEF="s50,r50,12,12,12,12"> <TTITLE>Estimated Annualized Burden Hours</TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Form name</CHED> <ENT I="01">Special Volunteer and Guest Researcher Assignment</ENT> <ENT>Special Volunteers and Guest researchers</ENT> <ENT>2,300</ENT> <ENT>2</ENT> <ENT>6/60</ENT> <ENT>460</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01">NIH Special Volunteer Agreement</ENT> <ENT>Special Volunteers</ENT> <ENT>2,100</ENT> <ENT>1</ENT> <ENT>5/60</ENT> <ENT>175</ENT> </ROW> <ROW RUL="n,n,s"> <ENT I="01">NIH Guest Researcher Agreement</ENT> <ENT>Guest Researchers</ENT> <ENT>200</ENT> <ENT>1</ENT> <ENT>5/60</ENT> <DATED>Dated: December 11, 2025.</DATED> <NAME>Matthew J.
