Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection,
Comment Request: Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or
‘‘CFTC’’) is announcing an opportunity
for public comment on a proposed
collection of certain information by the
Commission’s Office of Consumer
Outreach (‘‘OCO’’). Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’), 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal agencies are
required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information and
to allow 60 days for public comment.
The Commission is soliciting comments
for a proposed generic information
collection that will help the CFTC
satisfy responsibilities under the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, Public Law 111–2–3
(‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’), found in Section
748 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The
proposed generic information collection
will provide the OCO a means to gather
qualitative consumer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner
to facilitate service delivery.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before March 29, 2013.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
regarding the burden estimated or any
other aspect of the information
collection, including suggestions for
reducing the burden. Please refer to this
notice in any correspondence.
Comments, identified by ‘‘Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery,’’ may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
• Mail: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Attention:
Desk Officer for CFTC, 725 17th Street,
Washington, DC 20503.
• The Agency’s Web site, at https://
comments.cftc.gov/. Follow the
instructions for submitting comments
through the Web site.

SUMMARY:
On
October 30, 2012, notice was published
in the Federal Register (77 FR 65673)
that a request for an enhancement
permit to take shortnose sturgeon had
been submitted by the above-named
organization. The requested permit has
been issued under the authority of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
and the regulations governing the
taking, importing, and exporting of
endangered and threatened species (50
CFR parts 222–226).
The Riverbanks Zoo and Garden has
been issued a permit to continue
enhancement activities previously
authorized under Permit No. 1589.
Activities include the care and
maintenance of two captive-bred, nonreleasable shortnose sturgeon. The
display is used to increase public
awareness of the shortnose sturgeon and
its status by educating the public on
shortnose sturgeon life history and the
reasons for the species decline. The
project to display endangered cultured
shortnose sturgeon responds directly to
a recommendation from the NMFS
recovery plan outline for this species.
The permit does not authorize any takes
from the wild, nor does it authorize any
release of captive sturgeon into the wild.
The permit is valid for five years.
Issuance of this permit, as required by
the ESA, was based on a finding that
such permit (1) was applied for in good
faith, (2) will not operate to the
disadvantage of such endangered or
threatened species, and (3) is consistent
with the purposes and policies set forth
in section 2 of the ESA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery.
Abstract: In accordance with section
748 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the OCO
anticipates undertaking a variety of
service delivery-focused activities over
the next few years which include
consumer outreach and informationsharing with stakeholders that are
responsive to stakeholders’ needs and
sensitive to changes in the consumer
market. The proposed information
collection activity will use similar
methods for information collection or
otherwise share common elements, and
provide a means to gather qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
information on perceptions and
opinions. The solicitation of
information on delivery of consumer
services will address such areas as
appropriate messages, effective message
delivery methods, and current consumer
beliefs, psychographics and social
norms that will assist the agency in
developing an outreach and
communications campaign designed to
change consumer behavior. Since these
systems will use similar methods for
information collection or otherwise
share common elements, the OCO is
proposing a generic clearance for this
process which will allow the OCO to
implement these systems and meet the
obligations of the PRA without the
delays of the normal clearance process.
Collection methods may include focus
