Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Manufacturers and
importers of bicycle helmets.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 30
manufacturers and importers will
maintain test records of an estimated
200 models total annually, including
older models and new models. Testing
on bicycle helmets must be conducted
for each new production lot and the test
records must be maintained for 3 years.
Estimated Time Per Response: 200
hours/model to test 40 models

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Defense
has submitted to OMB for clearance, the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received by August 28, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred
Licari, 571–372–0493.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title, Associated Form and OMB
Number: Research Performance Progress
Report (RPPR); OMB Number: 0704–
TBD.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 2,000.
Responses per Respondent: 2.
Annual Responses: 4,000.
Average Burden per Response: 6
hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 24,000.
Needs and Uses: DoD research grants
and cooperative agreements require
recipients to periodically report on
progress made towards achieving the
objectives of their awards, and to
document accomplishments and
identify reasons for failure to meet
planned objectives. This periodic
reporting is required by section 32.51 of
32 CFR part 32, the DoD
implementation of OMB Circular A–
110. In April 2010, the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
Office of Science and Technology
(OSTP) issued a policy memorandum to
the heads of Executive Departments and
Agencies on usage of a new format—the
Research Performance Progress Report
(RPPR)—for doing interim progress
reporting (e.g., annual reports during the
award performance period, other than
the final report that is due after the end
of that period). The information
collection requirement under this
Notice is part of the Department’s
SUMMARY:

implementation of the RPPR, usage of
which will consolidate interim progress
reporting requirements of the multiple
DoD offices that award research grants
and cooperative agreements. DoD’s
implementation of the RPPR will:
• Make DoD research offices’
requirements for grants and cooperative
agreements more uniform with each
other, as each office has historically
specified its reporting requirements
separately from other awarding offices.
• Make DoD offices’ reporting
requirements more common with those
of other Federal agencies that make
research awards, as each of them
implements the guidance from OMB
and OSTP.
• Enable broadening of RPPR usage to
basic research contracts awarded by
DoD offices, any of which may adopt the
RPPR format for basic research contract
progress reporting in lieu of their
existing basic research contract
reporting requirements. This will
benefit entities having both research
grant and contract awards, and is
consistent with the joint OMB and
OSTP policy memorandum.
Affected Public: Colleges and
universities, nonprofit organizations,
business and industry.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet
Seehra.
Written comments and

information collection should be sent to

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Fast Track Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery
DoD, Office of the Secretary,
Washington Headquarters Service
(WHS), Enterprise Management.
ACTION: 30-Day notice of submission of
information collection approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
and request for comments.
AGENCY:
As part of an effort to
streamline the process to seek feedback
from the public on service delivery,
WHS has submitted a Generic
Information Collection Request (Generic
ICR): ‘‘Fast Track Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery—the
Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE)
System’’ to OMB for approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
DATES: Comments must be submitted
August 28, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred
Licari, 571–372–0493.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Fast Track Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback

on Agency Service Delivery—the
Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE)
System.
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
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 Agency did not receive any
comments in response to the 60-day
notice published in the Federal Register
on May 28, 2014 (79 FR 30562).
Current Actions: Processing Revision
as Fast Track Generic.
Type of Review: Revision.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
