This collection is approved for three years. The agency should notify OMB at least two weeks in advance of implementing a new collection under this generic clearance. The notification should entail a summary of survey objectives, burden estimates, and final or near final survey instruments (scripts, questions, comment cards, ect.) If OMB does not specifically disapprove the collection within ten working days, then the agency may presume approval and conduct the survey.
