Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Evaluation of User 

Satisfaction With NIH Internet Sites 

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 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: Evaluation 

of User Satisfaction with NIH Internet 

Sites. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Renewal. Need and Use of 

Information Collection: Executive Order 

12862 directs 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. With this submission, 

the NIH Office of Communications and 

Public Liaison seeks to obtain OMB’s 

generic approval to conduct online 

customer satisfaction surveys. Since the 

late 1980’s, the NIH has seized the 

opportunity to disseminate information 

and materials via the Internet. Today, 

rapid technological changes of the 

World Wide Web warrant on-going 

constitute nt and resource analysis. 

With survey data, the NIH is enabled to 

serve, and respond to, the ever-changing 

demand by the public. The ‘public’

includes individuals (such as patients, 

health professionals, educators, and 

scientists), interested communities 

(such as national or local organizations/ 

institutions) and businesses. Survey 

information will augment current Web 

content, delivery, and design research 

that is used to understand the needs of 

the Web user, and more specifically, the 

NIH user community. Primary 

objectives are to: (1) Classify NIH 

Internet users; (2) summarize and better 

understand customer needs; and (3) 

quantify the effectiveness/efficiency of 

current tools and delivery. Overall, the 

Institutes, Centers, and Offices of the 

NIH will use the survey results to 

identify strengths and weaknesses in 

current Internet strategies. Findings will 

help to: (1) Understand the user 

community and how to better serve 

Internet users; (2) discover areas 

requiring improvement in either content 

or delivery; (3) realize how to align Web 

offerings with identified user need(s); 

and (4) explore methods to offer and 

deliver information with efficacy and 

equity. Frequency of Response: On 

occasion [As needed on an on-going and 

potentially concurrent basis (by 

Institute, Center, or Office)]. Affected 

Public: Users of the Internet. Primarily, 

this is an individual at their place(s) of 

access including, but not limited to, 

home and/or work environments. Type 

of Respondents: Public users of the NIH 

Internet site, www.nih.gov, which may 

include organizations; medical 

researchers; physicians and other health 

care provides; librarians; students; and 

the general public. Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 104,000. Number of 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. Average 

Burden Hours Per Response: 0.0835. 

Burden Hours Request: 8684. Total 

annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated at $130,260. There are no 

capital costs, operating costs and/or 

maintenance costs to report.
