[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC or by fax to (202) 395-6974.

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), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    ATSDR's mandate under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), as amended, is to assess the 
presence and nature of health hazards at specific Superfund sites. 
ATSDR considers evaluation to be a critical component for enhancing 
program effectiveness and improving resource management. Furthermore, 
in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 
(Pub. L. 103-62), the e-Government Act of 2002 and the Federal 
Enterprise Architecture are key elements of the President's Management 
Agenda. These ``e-government'' initiatives have charged staff at all 
levels of the federal government with the improvement of program 
effectiveness and public accountability by promoting new focuses on 
results, service quality, and customer satisfaction. Federal agencies 
are further charged with the responsibility to articulate clearly the 
results of their programs in terms that are understandable to their 
customers, their stakeholders, and the American taxpayer. The proposed 
data collection addresses these concerns and serves to improve ATSDR's 
health promotion agenda by providing data on which to assess and 
improve the usefulness and usability of information provided via 
ATSDR's Internet-based Home Page and Links. ATSDR has designed its 
Internet site to serve the general public, persons at risk for exposure 
to hazardous substances, collaborating organizations, state and local 
governments, and health professionals. As a ``Support Delivery of 
Services'' tool, the ATSDR Web site presents information focused 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. Furthermore, the ATSDR Web site advances the 
Agency's health promotion messages, product outreach activities, and 
future survey options currently under consideration. Therefore, it is 
critical that ATSDR have the capacity to answer whether or not

these activities elicit the desired effects or impact.
    ATSDR is requesting a reinstatement with minor changes for the 
following customer satisfaction surveys:
     ATSDR Web Site User Satisfaction Survey (WSUS)
     Toxicological Profiles User Satisfaction Survey (TPUS)
     ToxFAQsTM User Satisfaction Survey (TFUS)
     Public Health Statements User Satisfaction Survey (PHSUS)
     Toxicology Curriculum for Communities Training Manual
    User Satisfaction Survey (TCCUS)
     ToxProfilesTM CD-ROM User Satisfaction Survey 
(TP-CDUS)
    The results of this project will ensure that these audiences will 
continue to find our knowledge products and informational pieces easy 
to access, clear, informative and useful. Specifically, this project 
will continue to examine whether current and future informational 
updates are presented in an appropriate technological format and 
whether they meet the needs, wants, and preferences of visitors to the 
ATSDR Web site. The survey questions have been held to the absolute 
minimum required for the use of the data.
    This extension request is for a three-year period. There are no 
costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 166.
