The National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is accepting
comments regarding a new survey of audiologists and audiology
facilities.
CDC is requesting OMB approval
to collect audiology facility information from audiologists or facility
managers over a one-year period. The survey will allow CDC-EHDI team
and state EHDI programs to compile a systematic, quantifiable
distribution of audiology facilities and the capacity of each facility
to provide services for children age 5 and younger. The data collected
will also allow the CDC-EHDI team to analyze facility distribution data
to improve technical assistance to State EHDI programs.
Please
pass this information along and submit your comments regarding the
survey to Kimberly S. Lane, at 1600 Clifton Road, MS D74, Atlanta, GA
30333 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov.
