from the public and affected agencies are invited to address one or
more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the

Need and Use of Information Collection: In 1994, the NLM was
designated a ``Federal Reinvention Laboratory'' with a major objective
of improving its methods of delivering information to the public. At a
minimum, necessary elements in improving the delivery of information
include: (1) Development of easy-to-use access and delivery mechanisms
that promote the public's understanding of health information, drawing
on research in lay terminology, graphical and multimedia presentations;
(2) assisting those providing health information to the public to make
effective use of electronic services through internet connections,
training, and other means, with an emphasis on those serving minority
groups, low income populations, and seniors; (3) promoting integrations
of NLM services with other electronic services covering regional,
state, or local health information; and (4) conducting and supporting
research, development, and evaluation of the public's health
information needs, information seeking behavior and learning styles,
information systems that meet the public's needs, and the impact of
access to information.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 750.
