Assurance Identification/IRB
Certification/Declaration of Exemption
Form—Extension OMB No. 0990–0263,
Assistant Secretary for Health, Office for
Human Research Protections.
OMB No.: 0990–0263
Abstract: The Office for Human
Research Protections is requesting a
three year extension of the Protection of
Human Subjects: Assurance
Identification/IRB Certification/
Declaration of Exemption Form. That
form is designed to promote uniformity
among departments and agencies, and to
help ensure common means of
ascertaining institutional review board
certifications and other reporting
requirements relating to the protection
of human subjects in research. The
Federal Policy for the Protection of
Human Subjects, known as the Common
Rule, requires that before engaging in
non-exempt human subjects research
that is conducted or supported by a
Common Rule department or agency,
each institution must: (1) Hold an
applicable assurance of compliance
[Section 103(a)]; and (2) certify to the
awarding department or agency that the
application or proposal for research has
been reviewed and approved by an IRB
designated in the assurance [Sections
103(b) and (f)].
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collected
through the Protection of Human
Subjects: Assurance Identification/IRB
Certification/Declaration of Exemption
Form is the minimum necessary to
satisfy the assurance and certification
requirements of Section 491 (a) of the
Public Health Service Act and HHS
Regulations for the protection of human
subjects at 45 CFR 46.103.
Likely Respondents: Research
institutions engaged in HHS-conducted
or -supported research involving human
subjects. Institutional use of the form is
also relied upon by other federal
departments and agencies that have
codified or follow the Federal Policy for
the Protection of Human Subjects
(Common Rule).

(1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery—NEW—Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek
feedback from the public on service
delivery, the CDC has submitted a
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.).
To request additional information,
please contact Leroy A. Richardson,
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an email to
omb@cdc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
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 received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register on April 30,
2014 (79 FR 24432).
This is a new collection of
information. Respondents will be
screened and selected from Individuals
and Households, Businesses,
Organizations, and/or State, Local or
Tribal Government. Below we provide
CDC’s projected annualized estimate for
the next three years. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection activity are 3,850.
