Evaluation of the Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC).)

Background and Brief Description
In September 2005, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
launched CDC–INFO, a consolidated,
comprehensive effort to respond to
consumer, provider and partner
inquiries on a broad spectrum of public
health topics by telephone, e-mail, fax,
or postal mail. More than 40 nationwide
public health hotlines and warm lines
were consolidated into one central
phone number using a phased approach
from 2005 to 2008. Management of
CDC–INFO services is increasingly
guided by a comprehensive evaluation
that includes point-of-service and
follow-up customer satisfaction surveys.
These surveys provide the public with
ongoing opportunity to express their
level of satisfaction and report how they
have used this information. All
members of the public, health care
providers and businesses can contact
CDC–INFO by phone, e-mail, or postal
mail to request health information or
order CDC publications.
CDC–INFO is a proactive, unified, and
integrated approach to the delivery of
public health information and is
designed to contribute to improving the
health and safety of the public.
Customers are defined as any individual
or group seeking health or public health
information from CDC. This includes
the public, media, medical and
healthcare professionals, public health
professionals, partner groups,
businesses, researchers, and others.
Customer interactions occur through
multiple channels, e.g., telephone calls,
e-mails, and postal mail. There are
seven (7) potential evaluation points
across three (3) major categories:
consumer satisfaction, special event/
outreach, and emergency response. All
survey tools provide the participant an
opportunity to decline and are available
in English and Spanish.
These satisfaction surveys track the
utility of CDC–INFO to the public at
point of service and are integral for
directing attention towards programs
that are underperforming or receiving
high endorsement, to understand the
basis for disparity. Industry benchmarks
for performance, including consumer
satisfaction, were helpful for creating
measures, and setting realistic
expectations for performance. With the
passage of time, the private sector has
integrated new performance indicators
for contact centers, and the suggested
revisions reflect these innovations.
These innovations and survey findings
form the rationale for new question
items and revised burden estimates.
Minor changes were made to the
research protocol to improve

recruitment, and are discussed
throughout the application where there
is any implication for information
privacy.
These evaluations have provided
volumes of data, reports, and
presentations on the progression of
CDC–INFO, an innovative, multimillion dollar, Federal public health
contact center. The outcome of this
feedback is tangible, with the average
number of incoming calls to CDC–INFO
reaching new heights on an annual
basis, and consumer satisfaction
hovering around the best practice
benchmark of 75 percent of callers
participating in a satisfaction survey
endorsing the highest level of
satisfaction—very satisfied.
Sample size, respondent burden, and
intrusiveness have been minimized to
be consistent with national evaluation
objectives. There is no cost to the
respondent, other than the amount of
time required to respond to the survey.

and 814.45(d) to discontinue individual
publication of PMA approvals and
denials in the Federal Register. Instead,
the agency now posts this information
on the Internet on FDA’s home page at
https://www.fda.gov. FDA believes that
this procedure expedites public
notification of these actions because
announcements can be placed on the
Internet more quickly than they can be
published in the Federal Register, and
FDA believes that the Internet is
accessible to more people than the
Federal Register.
In accordance with section 515(d)(4)
and (e)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C.

order approving, denying, or
withdrawing approval of a PMA will
continue to include a notice of
opportunity to request review of the
order under section 515(g) of the act.
The 30-day period for requesting
reconsideration of an FDA action under
§ 10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b)) for notices
