Information Officer, at (202) 314–6607.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, the NTSB previously
published a Notice in the Federal
Register indicating its proposal to
collect feedback concerning its public
Web site, and sought comments from
the public concerning this proposed
ICR. The NTSB did not receive any
comments. At this juncture, in
accordance with OMB regulations that
require this additional Notice for
proposed ICRs, the NTSB seeks to notify
the public that it may submit comments
on this proposed ICR to OMB. 5 CFR
1320.10(a).
The NTSB Online Customer
Satisfaction Survey will seek the
public’s feedback regarding a variety of
aspects of the current NTSB Web site. In
particular, the survey will solicit
feedback concerning the public’s
satisfaction with the content of
information on the Web site, as well as
the presentation and organization of
information that is available on the
NTSB Web site. The survey will also ask
the public for opinions regarding the
overall utility of certain categories of the
existing Web site. The survey will also
seek responses to questions concerning
ways to improve the Web site, such as
whether the public would find it helpful
to include certain information. In
addition, the survey will seek general
comments regarding ways the NTSB can
improve its Web site. Finally, the survey
will inquire into whether respondents
are affiliated with a particular group,
industry, or profession, and how often
respondents visit the NTSB Web site.
Respondents’ participation in the
survey is voluntary. The survey will
only be available on the NTSB Web site,
and the NTSB has carefully reviewed
the survey to ensure that it has used
plain, coherent, and unambiguous
terminology in its requests for
information and feedback. The survey is
not duplicative of other agencies’
collections of information. The survey
will consist of seven questions, and
imposes minimal burden on
respondents: the NTSB estimates that
respondents will spend approximately
10 minutes in completing the survey.
The NTSB estimates that approximately
