Previous terms of clearance continue: CDC is required to submit each data collection request to OMB as a generic IC. In addition to the data collection instrument itself, supplemental materials for each generic IC should include a description of the goals of the study, study design, sampling approach, and data analysis plan. If the clearance is associated with an imminent public health concern, CDC should call OIRA to convey the urgency. CDC agrees that results of studies conducted under this generic will not yield generalizable data beyond the given EHS-NET site(s). Findings will not be generalized to retail establishments more broadly. Information collections submitted under this generic OMB clearance will state whether multi-lingual resources/materials will be used, and justification if none are used.
