Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery’’ to OMB for approval under

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on December 22nd, 2010 (75

received. The purpose of this notice is
to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will gamer 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 are 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
Agency 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
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Below we provide AHRQ’s projected
average annual estimates for the next
three years:
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and

Proposed Project
Development and Evaluation of Eagle
Books and Youth Eagle Books for
American Indians and Alaska Natives
(AI/ANs)—New—National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The development of effective diabetes
prevention programs targeting AI/AN
youth is a compelling priority in
education and public health. AI/AN
individuals develop type 2 diabetes at
younger ages, experience more years of
disease burden and have a high
probability of developing diabetesrelated complications. However,
research shows that type 2 diabetes can
be prevented or delayed with healthy
foods and nutrition, moderate physical
activity, and social support. A number
of health communication products have
been developed specifically for AI/AN
youth. These include the Eagle Books,
the Youth Books, and the Diabetes
Education in Tribal Schools (DETS)
curriculum.
The Eagle Books are a series of four
books that have been incorporated into
the lesson plans for the Kindergarten (K)
through fourth grades of the DETS
curriculum. The materials are a result of
a project that engaged eight Tribal
Colleges and Universities, NIH, CDC,
and IHS to develop culturally-grounded,
scientifically sound lessons to promote
awareness about diabetes and lifestyle
adaptations. CDC is currently
developing additional books for Native
American youth ages nine to thirteen
(the ‘‘Youth Books’’).
CDC plans to conduct a descriptive
evaluation of the Eagle Books and the
DETS curriculum. Data collection will
involve discussion groups and in-depth
interviews conducted during site visits
to 12 selected American Indian
communities. Each site visit will consist
of: (i) Interviews with up to 3
community health representatives; (ii)
Interviews with up to 2 school
administrators from a local elementary
school and a middle school; (iii) One
discussion (focus) group with teachers
from a local elementary school and one
discussion group with teachers from a
