Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, or by fax 
to (202) 395-6974. Written comments should be received within 30 days 
of this notice.
    Proposed Project: Evaluation of Customer Satisfaction with the 
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Internet Home Page and 
Links (OMB No. 0923-0028)--Reinstatement--Agency for Toxic Substances 
and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
    ATSDR proposes to conduct customer satisfaction research for its 
Internet site. Information on the site focuses on prevention of 
exposure and adverse human health effects and diminished quality of 
life associated with exposure to hazardous substances from waste sites, 
unplanned releases, and other sources of pollution present in the 
environment. The site is designed to serve the general public, persons 
at risk for exposure to hazardous substances, and health professionals.
    Approval for a similar Customer Satisfaction Survey was requested 
in 2002 jointly with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(OMB No. 0920-0449, Expiration Date 09/30/2003). The new survey is 
solely for ATSDR and is significantly shorter and would require less 
time to complete.
    This research will ensure that targeted audiences find the 
information easy to access, clear, informative, and useful. 
Specifically, the research will examine whether the information is 
presented in an appropriate technological format and meets the needs, 
wants, and preferences of visitors or ``customers'' using the Web site. 
Results from the previous survey were utilized to redesign the ATSDR 
Web site--making improvements to architecture, links, organization, and 
content. Results from the new survey will assist ATSDR in making more 
improvements to the Web site in order to better serve its customers and 
visitors. The estimated annualized burden is 83 hours.
