Consistent with 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.
