    Abstract: Department of Health and Human Services, Administration 
for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
    The USG seeks information from stakeholders on available medical 
countermeasures in development, with a particular interest in products, 
technologies, and capabilities that have progressed into or beyond 
clinical trials, have established large-scale cGMP manufacturing 
capability, or utilize an approved platform. Information regarding 
diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and other products, technologies, 
or capabilities relevant to respond to public health emergencies are 
sought. The TechWatch program, run by ASPR/BARDA, provides the 
Medicalcountermeasures.gov bdr.hhs.gov portal as a single point of 
entry for the submission of meeting requests from interested 
stakeholders with promising MCM products, technologies, and 
capabilities.
    The information collection request is seeking OMB approval for a 
three (3) year duration. It is expected that any given responded would 
submit TechWatch meeting requests no more than annually, based on 
program history. Developers of medical countermeasures respondents will 
submit a response once and never submit subsequent requests.
