Defense Acquisition University Industry Day: “Better Buying Power” Initiatives, 14949-14950 [2011-6357]

Download as PDF Emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2011 / Notices refined individual estimates of burden in subsequent notices (75 FR at 80543). The OMB notice also provided a 60-day comment period. This notice constitutes the CPSC’s refined individual estimates of the information collection burden regarding generic clearance for the collection of qualitative feedback on agency service delivery. In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, we have submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Abstract: The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback, we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations; provide an early warning of issues with service; or focus attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the CPSC and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: the target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:30 Mar 17, 2011 Jkt 223001 eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. We received no comments in response to the 60-day notice published by OMB in the Federal Register on December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80542). Below we provide our projected average annual estimates for the next three years: 1 Current Actions: New collection of information. Type of Review: New collection. Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government. Average Expected Number of Activities: Eight activities including qualitative surveys, focus groups, customer satisfaction surveys and usability tests. Annual Number of Respondents: 1,600. Annual Responses: 1,600. Frequency of Response: Once per request. Average Minutes per Response: 45 minutes per response. Annual Burden Hours: 1,200. 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 Office of Management and Budget control number.
