with the outcome of the dose
reconstruction. The dose reconstruction
results will be supplied to the claimant
and to the DOL, the agency that will
utilize them as one part of its
determination of whether the claimant
is eligible for compensation under the
Act. It is estimated that 3,600 claimants
will complete the conclusion form
which takes approximately five minutes
per response.
The total estimated burden hours are
3,900. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
3,600 claimants will be interviewed
with an average burden of one hour per
response.
At the conclusion of the dose
reconstruction process, the claimant
submits a form to confirm that the
claimant has no further information to
provide to NIOSH about the claim at
this time. The form notifies the claimant
that signing the form allows NIOSH to
forward a dose reconstruction report to
DOL and to the claimant, and closes the
record on data used for the dose
reconstruction. Signing this form does
not indicate that the claimant agrees
NIOSH uses the data collected in this
process to complete an individual dose
reconstruction that accounts, as fully as
possible, for the radiation dose incurred
by the employee in the line of duty for
DOE nuclear weapons production
programs. After dose reconstruction,
NIOSH also performs a brief, voluntary
final interview with the claimant to
explain the results and to allow the
claimant to confirm or question the
records NIOSH has compiled. This will
also be the final opportunity for the
claimant to supplement the dose
reconstruction record. Approximately

Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Conduct an
electronic survey of 2012-funded Family
Connection grantees to collect process
evaluation data to include as part of the
Cross-Site Evaluation.
Title: Cross-site Evaluation Survey
2012 Family Connection Grantees
OMB No.: 0970–NEW
Description: In the interest of
providing as complete an evaluation
report as possible by the end of FY15,
the Children’s Bureau has directed the
contractor conducting the Cross-site
Evaluation to adopt the most efficient
means possible to collect process
evaluation data from grantees. The
proposed electronic survey will replace
originally planned in-person and
telephone discussions with electronic
surveys. This will enable collection of
key information on project design,
implementation, maintenance, and
sustainability from key grantee
representatives in an abbreviated
amount of time. The quantitative nature
of the surveys will enable rapid data
analysis and reporting.
Respondents: The Cross-site
Evaluation addresses a total of
seventeen (17) Family Connection
grantees. Four categories of participants
will be surveyed: Project Leadership,
Service Providers, Project Partners
(public child welfare and community
agencies), and Evaluators. For each
grantee, an average of 20 respondents is
anticipated: 4 project leadership, 9
service providers, 2 public child welfare
agency representatives, 2 community
partner representatives, and 3
evaluators. These numbers of
participants, per category, are used in
the table below to calculate the number
of respondents, across the 17 projects to
be surveyed. Differences in burden
estimates for the different instruments
reflect the number of questions in each.

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
Request: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery (NIMH)
National Institute of Mental
Health, as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, invites the general public to
take this opportunity to comment on the
‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery ’’ for approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). This collection was
developed as part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process for seeking feedback from
the public on service delivery. This
notice announces our intent to submit
this collection to OMB for approval and
solicits comments on specific aspects
for the proposed information collection.
To Submit Comments and for Further
Information: To obtain a copy of the
data collection plans and instruments,
submit comments in writing, or request

project, contact: NIMH Project Clearance

additional plans and instruments must

Comment Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
Proposed Collection: Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery (NIMH), 0925–0650, Expiration
Date 1/31/2015, REINSTATEMENT
WITHOUT CHANGE, National Institute
of Mental Health (NIMH), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: There are no changes being
requested for this submission. The
proposed information collection activity
provides a means to 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 information
about the NIMH’s 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
NIMH and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the NIMH’s services
will be unavailable.
The NIMH will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both

the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does 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 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.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
