Title:
Veterinary Services; Customer Service
Survey.
OMB Number: 0579-0334.
Type of Request: Extension of
approval of an information collection.
Abstract: The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
among other things, regulates, and
provides services related to, the
importation, interstate movement, and
exportation of animals, animal products,
and other articles to prevent the spread
of pests and diseases of livestock.
Veterinary Services (VS), APHIS, is the
program unit that carries out these
activities to protect animal health.
In an effort to evaluate service
delivery, VS conducts a survey to
evaluate its customer service to the
public. The survey is in the form of a
short questionnaire that VS presents to
individuals who use its services.
Completion of the questionnaire is
voluntary, and responses do not identify
the individual respondent. Respondents
are asked to identify the type of
customer they are (e.g., animal/animal
product producer, animal importer/
exporter), and then to rate the services
received in terms of courtesy,
timeliness, helpfulness, etc., as well as
the overall experience. The
questionnaire also allows respondents
to provide comments.
The information collected is used to
identify areas in which VS can improve
service delivery to the public and more
efficiently meet the needs and
expectations of customers.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of this information
collection activity for an additional 3
years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
information collection on those who are
to respond, through use, as appropriate,
of automated, electronic, mechanical,
and other collection technologies, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average
0.0458 hours per response.
Respondents: Members of the public
who receive services from Veterinary
Services.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 5,000.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 5,000.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 229 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 4th day
of August 2010.
