Download as PDF srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 38356 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 126 / Thursday, June 30, 2011 / Notices Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Abstract: This information collection activity will gather 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 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. The Access Board received no comments in response to the 60-day notice published in the Federal Register of December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80542). VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:24 Jun 29, 2011 Jkt 223001 Below we provide the Access Board’s projected average estimates for the next three years: 1 Current Actions: New collection of information.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 44-2011]


Foreign-Trade Zone 124--Gramercy, LA; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Port of South Louisiana, grantee of FTZ 124, 
requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative site 
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170-1173, 01/12/09 
(correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09); 75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/10). The 
ASF is an option for grantees for the establishment or reorganization 
of general-purpose zones and can permit significantly greater 
flexibility in the designation of new ``usage-driven'' FTZ sites for 
operators/users located within a grantee's ``service area'' in the 
context of the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a 
general-purpose zone project. The application was submitted pursuant to 
the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the 
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on 
June 24, 2011.
    FTZ 124 was approved by the Board on December 20, 1985 (Board Order 
319, 50 FR 53351, 12/31/85), and expanded on July 5, 1988 (Board Order 
387, 53 FR 27184, 7/19/88). The current zone project includes the 
following sites: Site 1 (600 acres)--located at River Mile 121.4, 
Luling; Site 2 (335 acres)--within the Globalplex Intermodal Terminal, 
River Mile 138.5, Reserve; Site 3 (200 acres)--within Place Riviere, 
River Mile 150, Vacherie; and, Site 4 (213 acres)--within the 
Plantation Business Campus, River Mile 121, Destrehan.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be St. 
Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. James, La Fourche and St. Mary 
Parishes, Louisiana. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve 
sites throughout the service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The proposed service area is within and adjacent to the 
Gramercy Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include existing Sites 2, 3 and 4 as ``magnet'' sites. 
The ASF allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 2 be so exempted. The applicant is 
also requesting that Site 1 be removed from the zone project. Because 
the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose 
zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 124's authorized 
subzones.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Camille Evans of the 
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts and 
information presented in the application and case record and to report 
findings and recommendations to the Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is 
August 29, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to September 13, 2011.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary,
