 SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to provide opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects, the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. Proposed Collection *Title:*
                         Voluntary Customer Satisfaction Surveys. *Type of Information Collection Request:*
                         Extension. OMB Control No. 0925-0476, with an expiration date of May 31, 2006. *Need and Use of Information Collection:*Executive Order 12962 directed agencies that provide significant services directly to the public to survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they want and their level of satisfaction with existing services. Additionally, since 1994, the NLM has been a “Federal Reinvention Laboratory” with a goal of improving its methods of delivering information to the public. An essential strategy in accomplishing reinvention goals is the ability to periodically receive input and feedback from customers about the design and quality of the services they receive. The NLM provides significant services directly to the public including health providers, researchers, universities, other federal agencies, state and local governments, and to others through a range of mechanisms, including publications, technical assistance, and Web sites. These services are primarily focused on health and medical information dissemination activities. The purpose of this submission is to obtain OMB's generic approval to continue to conduct satisfaction surveys of NLM's customers. The NLM will use the information provided by individuals and institutions to identify strengths and weaknesses in current services and to make improvements where feasible. The ability to periodically surveys NLM's customers is essential to continually update and upgrade methods of providing high quality service. *Frequency of Response:*
                         Annually or biennially. *Affected Public:*
                         Individuals or households; businesses or other for profit; State or local governments; Federal agencies; non-profit institutions; small businesses or organizations. *Type of Respondents:*
                         Organizations, medical researchers, physicians and other health care providers, librarians, students, and the general public. Annual reporting burden is as follows: Title of survey
