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.).

Background and Brief Description

    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 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 non-response 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.
    In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d), Vol. 79, No. 83/Wednesday, 
April 30, 2014, a 60-day notice for public comment was published in the 
Federal Register. No public comments were received in response to this 
notice.

online surveys or participate in Web site usability testing, 
interviews, discussion groups, or focus groups. Below is Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Immunization 
and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) projected annualized estimate for the 
next three years. There is no cost to respondents other than their
