proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210.
    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. Send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC

    Proposed Project: Online Evaluation Of A GIS Map Server Project 
With The Migrant Clinicians Network--New--Agency for Toxic Substances 
and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
    In 2001, ATSDR began working with the Migrant Clinicians Network 
(MCN) on a national project to use an internet-based mapping service to 
help decrease disparities by improving health care services for migrant 
workers through a resource, information, consultation and reporting 
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping application for the health 
care providers within the MCN. The Web site will be available at http://gis.cdc.gov/mcnarcims.
    As part of the implementation of the Web site, MCN and ATSDR are 
proposing to include an online evaluation survey to ensure that the 
mapping service is meeting the needs of the health care clinicians 
providing services to migrant populations. The survey will provide both 
MCN and ATSDR valuable immediate opportunities to configure the Web 
site to the practical needs of the physicians and other health care 
providers using the Web site for clinical care to prevent, intervene, 
and treat environmental exposures for migrant farm workers and their 
families.
    The evaluation survey will be included on the main access page of 
the Web site http://gis.cdc.gov/mcnarcims. The feedback survey will be 
completely voluntary and will assess the following: (1) ease of 
navigating the Web site; (2) ease of locating information within the 
site; (3) content of the Web site; (4) technology issues (e.g., 
loading, links, printing); and (5) utility of the Web site to health 
care practice and environmental health prevention, practice and 
intervention. An additional question will ascertain the respondent's 
job category to determine the type of person accessing the Web site 
which will help ATSDR and MCN update and modify the content of the Web 
site to better fit the actual site user.
    It is anticipated that the feedback survey will provide critical 
information to enable ATSDR to provide ongoing continuing improvement 
of the site to meet the needs of the MCN clinician. This will also 
provide ATSDR and MCN with benchmarks to meet agency performance 
standards. The feedback survey will be at no financial cost to the 
participant and will be located on the ATSDR GIS map server Web site.
