NLM would also use the data to evaluate the functioning and utility of the lost person finder and guide future enhancements to the system. Frequency of Response: The NLM Lost People Finder would be activated only during disasters or emergencies in which U.S. government agencies are called to contribute to relief efforts. It would operate until cessation of relief efforts. During this period of time, information on found persons would be submitted by first-responders, medical, and other relief personnel on an ad-hoc basis, possibly several times per day. Information about missing persons would be submitted voluntarily by members of the public (i.e., those who are seeking family members friends, and other loved ones) on hoc basis, once or twice during the disaster. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Type of Respondents: Emergency Care FirstResponders, Physicians, and Other Health Care Providers who have found (recovered) people, and family members seeking a missing person. Estimate of burden: The annual reporting burden is as follows: The estimated burden consists of the burden to emergency responders (care providers, relief workers) of voluntarily entering data into the system about found people and of family members voluntarily entering data to list a missing person and/or search for possible matches. The burden may vary significantly from one disaster to another, depending upon the number of people affected. Using the 2010 earthquake in Haiti as a model, we estimate that some 500 emergency responders might use the system during the course of the relief effort and that each might submit information on 100 people. Submission of information, Estimated number of respondents Types of respondents especially through the iPhone application, is very fast and is estimated to average not more than 5 minutes per entry. The number of family members entering information about a missing person could be much higher. Based on use of the Google Person Finder system during the Haiti earthquake (which contained information on 50,000 people after two weeks of operation), we estimate that some 50,000 family members might use the system twice during a disaster. Data entry would average no more than 5 minutes. Based on these estimates, the total hour burden is calculated to be 12,000 hours. All use of the system is voluntary. Improved estimates of the burden, in particular the number of respondents and frequency of response, could be provided after the initial use of the system in Haiti.
