Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 181 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to the fact that we are accounting for not only technical person-hours but also management and clerical person-hours.

ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:25 Jun 15, 2006 Jkt 208001 conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: EPA uses voluntary surveys to learn how satisfied EPA customers are with our services, and how we can improve services, products and processes. EPA surveys individuals who use services or could have. During the next three years, EPA plans up to 72 surveys, and will use results to target/ measure service delivery improvements. By seeking renewal of the generic clearance for customer surveys, EPA will have the flexibility to gather the views of our customers to better determine the extent to which our services, products and processes satisfy their needs or need to be improved. The generic clearance will speed the review and approval of customer surveys that solicit opinions from EPA customers on a voluntary basis, and do not involve ‘‘fact-finding’’ for the purposes of regulatory development or enforcement. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5.4 minutes per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: The Executive Order describes a customer as ‘‘ * * * an individual or entity who is directly served by a department or PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34933 agency.’’ The EPA, by the very nature of its mandate, serves very large and diverse groups that receive or are in some way affected by EPA services. Past EPA customer groups targeted for customer satisfaction surveys include individual citizens, industry/business, states/other governments, and Web users. Because several customer groups use the same services, a survey may reach more than one of the designated customer categories. (The code standard industrial code (SIC) for ‘‘General Public’’ is 99.) Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,735. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,671. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,466, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,295 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is in large part due to greater use of online survey tools. Dated: June 9, 2006. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

    Title: Voluntary Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1711.05, OMB Control No. 2090-0019.
    ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA uses voluntary surveys to learn how satisfied EPA 
customers are with our services, and how we can improve services, 
products and processes. EPA surveys individuals who use services or 
could have. During the next three years, EPA plans up to 72 surveys, 
and will use results to target/measure service delivery improvements. 
By seeking renewal of the generic clearance for customer surveys, EPA 
will have the flexibility to gather the views of our customers to 
better determine the extent to which our services, products and 
processes satisfy their needs or need to be improved. The generic 
clearance will speed the review and approval of customer surveys that 
solicit opinions from EPA customers on a voluntary basis, and do not 
involve ``fact-finding'' for the purposes of regulatory development or 
enforcement.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 5.4 
minutes per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train 
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search 
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: The Executive Order describes a 
customer as `` * * * an individual or entity who is directly served by 
a department or agency.'' The EPA, by the very nature of its mandate, 
serves very large and diverse groups that receive or are in some way 
affected by EPA services. Past EPA customer groups targeted for 
customer satisfaction surveys include individual citizens, industry/
business, states/other governments, and Web users. Because several 
customer groups use the same services, a survey may reach more than one 
of the designated customer categories. (The code standard industrial 
code (SIC) for ``General Public'' is 99.)
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,735.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,671.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,466, includes $0 annualized capital 
or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,295 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is in large part due to greater use 
of online survey tools.
