SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
collect 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. This
feedback also provides an early warning
of issues with service, or focuses
attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve the accuracy
of data reported on survey instruments
or the 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.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
understanding of questions and
terminology used in survey instruments,
perceptions on data confidentiality and
security, appropriateness and relevancy
of information, 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 agency’s
services will be unavailable.
The agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
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 non-controversial
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 for initially contacting
respondents and is not retained;
Information gathered is intended to be
used only internally for general service
improvement, the design, modification,
and evaluation of survey instruments,
modes of data collection, and program
management purposes. It is not
intended for release outside of the
agency (if released, the agency must
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
Information gathered will not be used
for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and 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.
The information gathered will only
generate qualitative type of information.
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
PO 00000

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.
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Below is a preliminary estimate of the
aggregate number of respondents and
burden hours for this generic clearance.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 50.
Average Number of Respondents per
Activity: 10,000.
Number of Responses: 150,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes per Response: 6.
Burden Hours: 15,000.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
