Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 27, 2016 / Notices
reported in Part J2. The tool propulsion
system must be collected for each tool
run. PHMSA has modified Part J2 in
response to API’s comments. PHMSA
has made additional improvements to
the ‘‘Tool Technology’’ options and
additional tool data for each technology.
Also, PHMSA proposes collecting the
tool propulsion system and detailed tool
data for each run reported in Part J2.

E. Miscellaneous Comments
NORMAC believes that the proposed
contributing factors on PHMSA’s form
should be eliminated. PHMSA added
the contributing factors in response to
NTSB recommendation P–15–16 and
several other commentators agree with
the usefulness of the information.
PHMSA believes that NORMAC’s other
comments regarding the data quality are
outside the scope of this Federal
Register notice. PHMSA acknowledges
PST’s recommendation to lower
reporting requirements for natural gas
transmission line. However, as PST
acknowledges, such a change would
require a rulemaking and is beyond the
scope of this data collection effort.
Common Ground Alliance (CGA) noted
that several of PHMSA’s questions in
Forms 7100.1 and 7100.2 (G3) parallel
CGA’s Damage Information Reporting
Tool and these questions may be revised
in 2018. PHMSA participates in CGA
and plans to propose changes as needed
in response to CGA DIRT question
changes.
II. Summary of Impacted Collection
Section 1320.8(d), title 5, Code of
Federal Regulations, requires PHMSA to
provide interested members of the
public and affected agencies an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests.
This notice identifies two information
collection requests that PHMSA will
submit to OMB for renewal. PHMSA
expects many of the new data elements
are already known by the operator and
that no report requires the completion of
all fields on the forms. PHMSA has
estimated the burdens below by adding
20% to the previous burdens, resulting
12 hours instead of 10 for the
completion of each report.
The following information is provided
for each information collection: (1) Title
of the information collection; (2) OMB
control number; (3) Current expiration
date; (4) Type of request; (5) Abstract of
the information collection activity; (6)
Description of affected public; (7)
Estimate of total annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden; and (8)
Frequency of collection. PHMSA will
request a three-year term of approval for
each information collection activity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor. The term
‘‘collection of information’’ is defined in
44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c)
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal
agencies to publish a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing this
notice of the renewal of the following
information collection:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0248.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Burden Estimate:
Number of Respondents: 3,000.
Total Annual Burden: 2,350.
Description: This generic information
collection request (ICR) provides a
means to solicit qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Federal government’s commitment to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback is information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions but does not include statistical
survey or quantitative results that can be
attributed to the population of study.
This qualitative feedback provides
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations; provides an early warning
of issues with service; and/or focuses
attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. It also enables
ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communications between the OCC, and
its customers and stakeholders, while
also utilizing feedback to improve
program management.
Soliciting feedback targets areas such
as timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy
of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues related to service delivery. The
responses are used to inform and plan
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If the OCC does not collect this
information, it will not have access to
vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders.
Under this generic ICR, the OCC will
submit a specific information collection
for approval only if the collection meets
the following conditions:
• It is voluntary;
• It imposes a low burden on
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and a low cost on both
respondents and the Federal
government;
• It is non-controversial and does not
raise issues of concern to other Federal
agencies;
• It is targeted to solicit opinions
from respondents who have experience
with the program or will have such
experience in the near future;
• It includes personally identifiable
information (PII) only to the extent
necessary, and the OCC does not retain
the PII 1;
• It gathers information intended to
be used internally only for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and not intended
for release outside of the OCC (if
released, the OCC must indicate the
qualitative nature of the information);
1 The OCC may retain PII only in limited
circumstances, and if it does so, the OCC must
comply with applicable requirements, restrictions,
and prohibitions of the Privacy Act and other
privacy and confidentiality laws that govern the
collection, retention, use, and/or disclosure of such
PII.

• It does not gather information to be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• It gathers information that will
yield qualitative information and will
not be designed or expected to yield
statistically reliable results or used to
reach general conclusions about the
population of study.
Feedback collected provides useful
information, but it does not yield data
that can be attributed to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections.
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.
Comments: Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
OCC, including whether the information
has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimate of the burden of the
information collection;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection 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.

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal agencies to publish
a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed
collection of information, including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to

Description: This generic information collection request (ICR)
provides a means to solicit qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Federal
government's commitment to improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback is information that provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions but does not include statistical survey or quantitative
results that can be attributed to the population of study. This
qualitative feedback provides insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and expectations; provides an early warning
of issues with service; and/or focuses attention on areas where

customers and stakeholders, while also utilizing feedback to improve
program management.
Soliciting feedback targets areas such as timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of issues related to service delivery.
The responses are used to inform and plan efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If the OCC does
not collect this information, it will not have access to vital feedback
from customers and stakeholders.
Under this generic ICR, the OCC will submit a specific information
collection for approval only if the collection meets the following
conditions:
It is voluntary;
It imposes a low burden on respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and a low cost on both respondents and the
Federal government;
It is non-controversial and does not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
It is targeted to solicit opinions from respondents who
have experience with the program or will have such experience in the
near future;
It includes personally identifiable information (PII) only
to the extent necessary, and the OCC does not retain the PII \1\;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The OCC may retain PII only in limited circumstances, and if
it does so, the OCC must comply with applicable requirements,
restrictions, and prohibitions of the Privacy Act and other privacy
and confidentiality laws that govern the collection, retention, use,
and/or disclosure of such PII.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It gathers information intended to be used internally only
for general service improvement and program management purposes and not
intended for release outside of the OCC (if released, the OCC must
indicate the qualitative nature of the information);
It does not gather information to be used for the purpose
of substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
It gathers information that will yield qualitative
information and will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used to reach general conclusions about the
population of study.
Feedback collected provides useful information, but it does not
yield data that can be attributed to the overall population. This type
