necessary for the proper performance of the functions of OPM, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of OPM's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until February 24, 
2014. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR part 1320.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
leads Federal agencies in shaping human resources management systems to 
effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a high quality and 
diverse workforce. Performance measurement surveys are valuable tools 
to gather information from our customers so we can design and implement 
new ways to improve our performance to meet their needs. This 
collection request includes surveys that we currently use or plan to 
use during the next three years to measure our performance in providing 
services to meet our customer needs. The survey instruments include 
direct mail, telephone contact, focus groups and web exit surveys. Our 
customers include the general public, Federal benefit recipients, 
Federal agencies and Federal employees. We estimate 272,100 performance 
measurement surveys will be completed in the next 3 years. The time 
estimate varies from 15 minutes to 20 minutes to complete. The 
estimated burden is 75,575 hours.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
