Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB No.: 0970–0401.
Description: Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide
service to the public that matches or
exceeds the best service available in the
private sector. In order to work
continuously to ensure that the
Administration for Children and
Families’ programs are effective and
meet our customers’ needs we use a
generic clearance process to collect
qualitative feedback on our service
delivery. This collection of information
is necessary to enable ACF to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient timely manner, in accord
with our commitment to improving
service delivery. The information
collected from our customers and
stakeholders will help ensure that users
have an effective, efficient and
satisfying experience with the programs.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,

or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or change in
operation might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between
ACF and its customer and stakeholders.
It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management.
This request is an extension of the
‘‘generic fast-track’’ process offered to
all government agencies by OMB in
2010. Fast-track means each request
receives approval five days after
submission, if no issues are brought to
ACF’s attention by OMB within the five
days.

Sfmt 4703
Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
