Surgeon General. MRC Unit Leaders are asked to update this information
on the MRC Web site at least quarterly, and to participate in a
Technical Assistance Assessment at least annually. The MRC unit data
collected has not changed. This OMB extension request is for 3 years.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the
