**Survey of Need for Online Medical Device Information**
Executive Order 12862 directs agencies to identify the customers who are, or should be, served by the agency, and to survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they want.
This proposed survey will collect data about the information customers want when looking up medical devices on the Internet. It will focus on the ways individuals find, use, and rate existing sources of online medical device information. FDA will use this data to understand more about its customers and to make improvements to its own Web site.
FDA will administer this survey to individuals who use the Internet to look for information about medical devices. 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. No comments were received in response to that notice.
FDA estimates the burden for this collection of information as follows:
