Abstract:
The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) program is requesting an approval for a regular review of a revision of a currently approved collection. MRC units are currently located in 748 communities across the United States and represent a resource of over 300,000 volunteers. In order to continue to support MRC units, detailed information about the MRC units, including unit/user demographics, contact information, volunteer numbers and information about non-emergency and emergency unit activities is needed by the MRC Program. MRC Unit Leaders are asked to update this information on the MRC web site at least quarterly and to participate in a technical assistance assessment using the Capability Assessment and Factors for Success at least annually. This collection informs resources and tools developed as part of national programming and helps to identify trends and target technical assistance to support MRC units’ preparedness to respond to disasters in their communities. The MRC unit data collection has been refined to eliminate duplication and streamline data collection tools.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Using Information Technology
Short Statement:
The overall burden has decreased due to decrease in the number of approved MRC units from 889 in 2018 and 748 in 2022. The number of questions asked of respondents has been decreased with some merged into Factors for Success and Unit Profile thus allowing for more updates to be done annually to ensure data collection is meeting programmatic needs without being burdensome on respondents. In addition, the program continues to maintain the data collection as four specific collection tools. Each unit is now being asked to input a smaller amount of data on a quarterly basis that eliminates duplication and increases usability for the respondents.
