1.  About the Forms in This Response Plan
OMB NO. 0920-0008
Exp. Date 06/2003
Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average __ minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-24, Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN: PRA (0920-0008).
2.  About the Forms in Guide A (below): These forms are draft versions and are available as examples of the types of information that should be collected. Planning efforts including large-scale form replication or database development should take this into consideration as these draft versions are subject to change. Until finalized versions are available, these forms may be utilized for emergency use if needed. As the forms are updated and/or finalized, they will be posted to this website and noted as such. The smallpox post-event draft forms (Version 3.0) are part of a comprehensive, integrated data management and analysis system currently under development. Any changes to these draft forms would affect the response team’s capability to efficiently and effectively collect event data. Therefore, they are only available in .pdf format that should not be modified.
