SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below.

The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses; and

5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

Year 7 (2022) Customer Satisfaction Survey for the CDC Antibiotic Resistant Isolate Bank—New—National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

The CDC AR Isolate Bank Customer Satisfaction Survey will capture feedback regarding ease of use, product quality, and expectations for future panels from AR Isolate Bank customers. This survey comes six years after the AR Isolate Bank launched. Since the first satisfaction survey, the Bank's customer base has more than tripled and represents an even more diverse set of users. Results may inform additional new features and/or isolates to meet these news users' needs and may also provide insight for success stories. Results from the Year 7 survey will be compared to the previous year's results to better determine how each sector is utilizing CDC's isolates, assess how well the customer needs have been met, and establish areas for future improvement. Survey results from previous years have informed upgrades to the Bank's web interface and have aided in streamlining the ordering process. Feedback will be used as CDC works to continually improve the Bank's web interface and customer engagement process.

Respondents will be those who have received orders from the AR Isolate Bank, and represent laboratorians and researchers at academic research institutions, device and drug manufacturers, hospitals and clinics, state and local health departments, and other U.S. federal agencies. CDC requests OMB approval for an estimated 117 burden hours annually. There are no costs to respondents other than their time to participate.
