I. Background
The Department of Labor (DOL)
conducts a variety of voluntary
Customer Satisfaction Surveys of
regulated/non-regulated entities, which
are specifically designed to gather
information from a customer’s
perspective as prescribed by E.O. 12862,
Setting Customer Service Standards,
September 11, 1993. These Customer
Satisfaction Surveys provide
information on customer attitudes about
the delivery and quality of agency
products/services and are used as part
of an ongoing process to improve DOL
programs. This generic clearance allows
agencies to gather information from both
Federal and non-Federal users.
In addition to conducting Customer
Satisfaction Surveys, the Department
also includes the use of evaluation
forms for those DOL agencies
conducting conferences. These
evaluations are helpful in determining
the success of the current conference, in
developing future conferences, and in
meeting the needs of the Department’s
product/service users.
II. Current Actions
Over the past three years the DOL has
conducted more than two dozen
customer satisfaction surveys and
conference evaluations, which have
helped assess the Department’s products
and services and has led to
improvements in areas deemed
necessary. Office of Management and
Budget approval for this collection of
information expires September 30, 2009.
DOL proposes to seek continued
approval for this collection of
information for an additional three
years.

The National Endowment for the Arts
enriches our nation and its diverse
cultural heritage by supporting works of
artistic excellence, advancing learning
in the arts, and strengthening the arts in
communities throughout the country.
With the advice of the National
Council on the Arts and advisory
panels, the Chairman establishes
eligibility requirements and criteria for
the review of applications for funding.
Section 959(c) of the Endowment’s
enabling legislation, as amended, directs
the Chairman to utilize advisory panels
to review applications and to make
recommendations to the National
Council on the Arts, which in turn
makes recommendations to the
Chairman.
The legislation requires the Chairman
‘‘(1) To ensure that all panels are
composed, to the extent practicable, of
individuals reflecting a wide
geographic, ethnic, and minority
representation as well as to (2) ensure
that all panels include representation of
lay individuals who are knowledgeable
about the arts * * *’’ In addition, the
membership of each panel must change
substantially from year to year and each
individual is ineligible to serve on a
panel for more than 3 consecutive years.
To assist with efforts to meet these
legislated mandates regarding
representation on advisory panels, the
endowment has established an
Automated Panel Bank System (APBS),
a computer database of names,
addresses, areas of expertise and other
basic information on individuals who
are qualified to serve as panelists for the
Arts Endowment.
The Panelist Profile Form, for which
clearance is requested, is used to gather
basic information from qualified
individuals recommended by the arts
