The survey will consist of three components: A screening tool of 5,000 to identify appropriate respondents, an online survey of 500 customers, and a telephone followup interview with 50 customers. In the Federal Register of April 20, 2005 (70 FR 20573), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions.
