Abstract: Through this generic clearance, HRSA will be able to draft and test survey instruments and other data collection and estimation procedures expeditiously and with greater lead time, thereby managing project time more efficiently and improving the quality of the data HRSA collects. In some instances, the ability to test and evaluate data collection and estimation procedures as a precursor to potential projects or early in a project may result in the decision not to proceed with additional activities, thereby saving both public and private resources and effectively eliminating respondent burden.
