As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek
feedback from the public on service
delivery, the ATSDR has submitted a
Generic Information Collection Request
(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery’’ to OMB for
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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

generalizations will be made, the

violence than workers in all industries
combined. While healthcare workers are
not at particularly high risk for jobrelated homicide, nearly 60% of all
nonfatal assaults occurring in private
industry are experienced in healthcare.
Six states have enacted laws to reduce
violence against healthcare workers by
requiring workplace violence
prevention programs. However, little is
understood about how effective these
laws are in reducing violence against
healthcare workers.
The objective of the proposed study is
three-fold: (1) To examine healthcare
facility compliance with the New Jersey
Violence Prevention in Health Care
Facilities Act, (2) to evaluate the
effectiveness of the regulations in this
Act in reducing assault injuries to
workers. Our central hypothesis is that
facilities with high compliance with the
regulations will have lower rates of
