paperwork and respondent burden,

program to provide the general public
and Federal Agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Ex-Im Bank is soliciting comments on
the following proposed Generic
Information Collection Request (Generic
ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Electronic Interfaces with Customers’’
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act. This collection was
developed as an effort to streamline the
process for seeking feedback from the
public on the electronic interfaces (Web
site and online application systems)
used by Ex-Im Bank customers. This
notice announces our intent to submit
this collection to OMB for approval and
solicits comments on specific aspects
for the proposed information collection.
DATES: Comments should be received on
or before June 22, 2015, to be assured of

OMB Number: TBD.
Type of Review: New.
Need and Use: This is a request for a
new three-year generic clearance for the

applications for financing support, other
on-line reporting, and the agency’s Web

include, but are not limited to, tests of
various interfaces through focus groups,
cognitive testing, web-based
experiments and usability testing.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 99 / Friday, May 22, 2015 / Notices
Ex-Im Bank is requesting the generic
clearance in order to test new or
proposed methodologies for customer
interfaces, data collection activities, and
Web site design. We believe the generic
clearance will be a helpful vehicle for
evaluating the usability and
effectiveness of these methodologies.
In the past, Ex-Im Bank has
approached design and testing through
convenience samples of nine or fewer
persons to provide input and feedback
or by relying on employee feedback.
Neither of these approaches meets ExIm Bank’s needs to collect meaningful
information on the usability and
effectiveness of its customer interfaces.
In the reference document we have
provided a description of the scope of
possible activities that might be covered
under this clearance. The requested
clearance is important to Ex-Im Bank’s
usability testing program, because of the
length of time required to develop
customer interfaces.
The specific methods proposed for
coverage by this clearance are listed
below. Also outlined are the procedures
Ex-Im Bank plans to put in place for
keeping OMB informed about the
identity of the usability tests and the
nature of the research activities being
conducted.
The methods proposed for use in
system development are as follows:
• Pilot testing,
• Behavior coding,
• Exploratory interviews,
• Split sample experiments,
• Cognitive and usability interviews,
and
• Focus groups.
Before each testing activity is
undertaken, Ex-Im Bank will provide
OMB with a memo describing the study
to be conducted and a copy of the
instrumentation and instruction
materials that will be used. Depending
on the stage of instrumentation
development, this may be a printed
questionnaire, a set of prototype items
showing each item type to be used and
the range of topics to be covered by the
questionnaire, or an interview script.
When split sample experiments are
conducted, either in small group
sessions or as part of a field test, the
different versions of the questionnaires
to be used will be provided. For a test
of alternative procedures, the
description and rationale for the
procedures will be submitted. A brief
description of the planned field activity
will also be provided.
