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.

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.
