SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Customer Satisfaction Surveys.
OMB Control No.: 2125–0590.
Background: Executive Order 12862,
‘‘Setting Customer Service Standards’’
requires Federal agencies provide the
highest quality service to our customers
by identifying them and determining
what they think about our services and
products. The surveys covered in this
clearance will provide the FHWA a
means to gather this data directly from
our customers. The information
obtained from the surveys will be used
to assist in evaluating service delivery
and processes. The responses to the
surveys will be voluntary and will not
involve information that is required by
regulations. There will be no direct
costs to the respondents other than their
time. The FHWA plans to provide an
electronic means for responding to the
majority of the surveys via the World
Wide Web.
Respondents: State and local
governments, highway industry
organizations, and the general public.
Estimated Average Annual Burden:
The burden hours per response will
vary with each survey; however, we
estimate an average burden of 15
minutes for each survey. Estimated
Total Annual Burden Hours: We
estimate that FHWA will survey
approximately 21,000 respondents
annually during the next 3 years.
Therefore, the estimated total annual
burden is 5,200 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
computer technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or
include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended;
