Emergency extension of current OMB approval
We have requested and received an emergency extension of our current OMB approval, which expires on 31 March 2002, for public surveys. Under this emergency extension, we may continue to conduct public surveys using the set of currently approved questionnaires located on IWR's web site, http://www.iwr.usace.army.mil/iwr/omb/ombhomea.HTM. Existing requirements to obtain a 10 day turnaround approval for each survey, prior to conduct, remains in effect. A date of 30 June 2002 should be placed on questionnaires for surveys conducted during this extension period.

This extension authority applies only to the currently approved set of questionnaires. New questionnaires which were included in our request for the upcoming 3 year period have not been approved yet and may not be used until approval is received.

We expect to receive approval of the new, expanded set of questionnaires by 30 June 2002. At that time, we will provide relevant information about the approved questionnaires and the process for using them.
