Information Collection/Surveys

Be careful in the use of on-line informal surveys asking the public for information. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44USC35) and 61CFR 6428 dated February 20, 1996, requires that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) must clear all information collection requests, with minor exceptions, and display an OMB control number prior to issue. Contact the appropriate agency Reports Clearance Officer (RCO) for more information on the PRA or to validate the releasability of such a request.

Standards

Surveys of ten or more people require OMB certification and control number.

Guidelines

  1. Users should be notified of any user information collection activities and/or usage monitoring and the purpose for its use.
     
  2. Information, which contains individual identifiers, such as E-Mail addresses, should not be retained for long periods of time.
     
  3. Reference the HHS World Wide Web Applications and the Internet Best Practices and Guidelines, http://www.hhs.gov/progorg/oirm/bestguid.html for additional information.
