The Digital Communications
Division (DCD) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Public Affairs (ASPA) is responsible for maintaining the HHS
premier website, HHS.gov. As such, the DCD has begun the task of
totally redesigning the front-end website as well as the back-end
architecture to enhance the end-user experience. The DCD will
utilize current website surveys to capture user satisfaction as
well as future surveys in 3 to 6 month increments to verify the
various phases of website redesign are achieving the desired effect
for the end-user. In addition, other activities within the Office
of the Secretary (OS) of HHS are grouped with ASPA to utilize the
same OMB control number for surveys. The other activities within OS
are adhering to the GSA mandate to capture user satisfaction for
their website information and the services they render. It is for
these reasons that we require additional burden hours for OMB
control number 0990-0379.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
