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
20:45 Dec 23, 2016
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.
