Proposed Projects: Reader Evaluations of Public Health Assessments and Consultation Products—Reinstatement with Changes—This is a request for a three-year reinstatement with changes of OMB 0923-0016, Reader Evaluations of Public Health Assessments and Consultation Products. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is mandated pursuant to the 1980 Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and its 1986 Amendments, The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA), to perform health assessments for each facility on the National Priorities List and for releases of facilities where individuals have been exposed to a hazardous substance. In addition, ATSDR provides consultations on health issues relating to exposure to hazardous or toxic substances to officials at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and state and local government. The principal audiences for these products are health professionals at the federal, state, and local levels, staff in public libraries and repositories, interested private sector organizations and groups, and members of the public. In order to make ATSDR products such as health assessments, consultations, exposure investigations, and fact sheets timely and relevant, ATSDR staff developed a survey 
                    ( print page 66546)
                    questionnaire (OMB 0923-0016) to get readers' opinions and evaluations. The survey will be inserted and mailed in each public health assessment. In addition, electronic surveys will be sent to clients and partners requesting ATSDR health consultations and exposure investigations within one month following delivery of product or service. The survey collects information on (a) affiliation of users, (b) timeliness and effectiveness of these products, and (c) practical utility of these products. The reader evaluation surveys provide important feedback that enables ATSDR staff to maintain the utility, integrity and standards of its products. Gathering client feedback ensures that appropriate information is included in these documents and assists in maintaining medical and scientific usefulness. The information will be used to maintain customer satisfaction with these products. There is no cost to respondents. The estimate annual burden is 172 hours. Respondents
