To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a

the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways

    Proposed Project: Collection of Publication Assessment 
Information--New--National Center for Injury Prevention and Control 
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    This project will collect information from Internet users after 
they order or download a publication from the website of the Department 
of Health and Human Services/Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention/National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. NCIPC 
produces a variety of publications about injury prevention for a range 
of audiences, from public health professionals to the general public. 
Publications include reports to Congress, fact books, brochures, 
research articles, tool kits, and books. Most of these publications are 
available to the general public, and the chief distribution method is 
through the NCIPC website, http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc. On the website, 
people can order print copies or view electronic copies of the 
publications.
    It is critical for NCIPC to obtain feedback from users of their 
publications so it can better understand who uses them and how. This 
will help guide the development of future publications, revisions of 
current ones, as well as distribution of publications. As part of the 
effort to gain understanding about the audiences of NCIPC publications, 
we will collect information through a web-based form. NCIPC website 
users will have the opportunity to fill out the form after

[[Page 47580]]

ordering, downloading, or reading online publications through the 
website. The form contains questions about the demographic background 
of the users, how they found the website, how they plan to use the 
publication, their need for publications in other languages, the degree 
to which the publication offerings were useful to them, and space for 
their general comments. The results of the forms will be compiled and 
studied so NCIPC can better consider the needs of people who use the 
publications in future publication development, revisions, and 
distribution plans. There are no costs to respondents.
