previous terms of clearance: If CDC chooses to use questions
outside of those currently approved in the questionnaire bank, they
must submit either a change request, or in the case of a new
instrument, a Generic IC request, to OMB. In either case, CDC
should submit a mini-supporting statement explaining why the
additional questions or instruments are needed and how they will be
used.
