Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
Request: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery, National
Institute of Neurological Disorders and
Stroke (NINDS)
In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Institute of Dental Craniofacial
Research (NIDCR), National Institutes of
Health (NIH), will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects to be
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
are invited on one or more of the
following points: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
SUMMARY:
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.
OMB approval extension is requested
for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden hours
are 5750.

Information: To obtain a copy of the
data collection plans and instruments,

more information on the proposed
project, contact: Dr. Sophia Jeon, Health

Formal requests for additional plans and
instruments must be requested in
writing.
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, National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(NINDS), 0925–0678, Expiration Date

Need and Use of Information
Collection: 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice

to include the following areas among

Sfmt 4703
I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Montana
resulting from a severe winter storm and
straight-line winds during the period of April
15–16, 2016, is of sufficient severity and
magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance
Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ‘‘Stafford
Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such a major
disaster exists in the State of Montana.
In order to provide Federal assistance, you
are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Public
Assistance in the designated areas and
Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal
assistance be supplemental, any Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs. Federal
funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, with the
exception of projects that meet the eligibility
criteria for a higher Federal cost-sharing
percentage under the Public Assistance
Alternative Procedures Pilot Program for
Debris Removal implemented pursuant to
section 428 of the Stafford Act.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration for the approved
assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.
