Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with the requirement for the opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects 
being developed for submission to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995. To request more information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, call 
the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1129.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
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 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: Implementation of a Feedback Form for MCH Alert 
Subscribers--NEW

    The MCH Alert is a free weekly electronic newsletter that provides 
timely reference to research findings, policy developments, recently 
released publications, and new programs and initiatives affecting the 
maternal and child health (MCH) community. The goal is to make MCH news 
and policy more accessible to health professionals, policymakers, 
family advocates, community service professionals, MCH/public health 
faculty and students, families, and the public. Each Friday, MCH Alert 
is electronically distributed to over 4,000 subscribers across the 
country. Visitors to the Web site can review archives of past issues, 
search for specific topics, link to reports and resources discussed, 
and find subscription information.
    The overall goal of the Feedback Form is to determine whether the 
MCH Alert topics and format continue to meet subscriber needs. 
Specifically, the form will provide a means for assessing (1) the 
usefulness of the information and service and (2) the effectiveness of 
targeted outreach efforts.
