OMB approves the
requested NIH generic clearance under the following terms: packages
submitted to OMB for review under this generic shall be within the
scope of customer satisfaction surveys concerning the NIH
Curriculum Supplements. OMB approves the two initial generic
requests included with this submission at this time. In future
items should be submitted and shall be reviewed on an individual
basis. Each proposed collection should include a running tally of
the total hours and respondents currently in use under the generic
clearance and NIH should develop appropriate means to track burden
totals associated with the generic clearance. OMB will consider the
use of incentives for collections under this generic clearance on a
case by case basis, however, OMB does not at this time approve a
specific range for incentives. Proposed incentive levels must be
justified e.g. through citation of appropriate peer reviewed
literature, in each submission to OMB. OMB will review packages
submitted under this proposal on an expedited basis, if NIH has not
received a response to a proposed collection within 10 days of
official submission the agency should contact OMB.
