Proposed Project Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 0920–0974, Expiration Date June 30, 2016)—Revision—Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Sciences, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This revision in the information collection activity is being requested primarily to reflect a simultaneous increase in (1) the number of programs in the Center due to a reorganization in 2014, (2) interest in electronic survey methods, and (3) need for customer input to and satisfaction with program Web sites and materials. The activity will garner increased 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. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection activity are 16,957.

Proposed Project Update seat belt fit recommendation for children—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is seeking OMB approval to conduct a new information collection for a study entitled, ‘‘Update Seat Belt Fit Recommendation for Children,’’ over a period of three years. CDC seeks to measure how seat belts fit children in vehicles with and without booster seats. The scientific basis for the current height recommendation for when children can transition from using a booster seat to just a seat belt is from a 1993 study that is outdated (Durbin et al., 2011; Reed et al., 2013). The goal of the new collection is to use the latest technology among the largest sample of children to date to help inform when children can safely transition from using a booster seat with a seat belt to using only a seat belt. Findings from this data collection will inform CDC’s child passenger safety recommendation regarding when children can safely transition from using a booster seat with the seat belt to using only the seat belt. This study will also provide information on ways to further reduce motor vehicle-related injuries and deaths among children. Prospective study participants will be children aged 6–12 years old in the greater District of Columbia (DC) area. Parents of prospective study participants will answer a series of screening questions to determine eligibility. Children who meet the screening criteria and are willing to participate will complete an in-person measurement session. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, and logistic regression. Selected findings will eventually be published in a peerreviewed journal. The estimated annual burden hours are 466. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. E:\FR\FM\13JNN1.SGM 13JNN1

Proposed Project

    Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 
Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 0920-0974, Expiration Date 
June 30, 2016)--Revision--Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and 
Laboratory Sciences, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This revision in the information collection activity is being 
requested primarily to reflect a simultaneous increase in (1) the 
number of programs in the Center due to a reorganization in 2014, (2) 
interest in electronic survey methods, and (3) need for customer input 
to and satisfaction with program Web sites and materials. The activity 
will garner increased 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 non-response 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.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number. There 
is no cost to respondents other than their time. The estimated 
annualized burden hours for this data collection activity are 16,957.
