required information balanced against
the current paucity of accurate and
regularly available data about tribal law
enforcement agencies operated by tribes
or the BIA. BJS anticipates that nearly
all of the approximately 300
respondents will fully complete the
questionnaire.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total estimated public
burden associated with this collection is
230 hours. It is estimated that
respondents will take 30 to 45 minutes
to complete a questionnaire depending
on the version and an additional 15
minutes is needed for potential post
data collection verification or validation
of responses for about 15% of the
respondents. The burden hours for
CTLEA respondent data collection sum
to 229 hours ((273 TLEA respondents ×
45 min.) + (27 BIA respondents × 30
min.) + (45 verification respondents ×
15 min.))/60 min. = 230 hours.

National Science Foundation.
Submission for OMB review;
comment request.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The National Science
Foundation (NSF) has submitted the
following information collection
requirements to OMB for review and
clearance under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be received by May 10, 2017 to be
assured of consideration. Comments
received after that date will be
considered to the extent practicable.

the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (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 those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
For Additional Information or
Comments: Comments should be
addressed to: Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs of OMB, Attention:
Desk Officer for National Science
Foundation, 725 17th Street NW., Room
10235, Washington, DC 20503, and to
Suzanne H. Plimpton, Reports Clearance
Officer, National Science Foundation,
4201 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1265,
Arlington, Virginia 22230 or send email
to splimpto@nsf.gov. Copies of the
submission(s) may be obtained by
calling 703–292–7556. Individuals who
use a telecommunications device for the
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–
800–877–8339, which is accessible 24
hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a
year (including federal holidays).
It is not permissible for NSF to
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless the collection of
information displays a currently valid
OMB control number and the agency
informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information
that such persons are not required to
respond to the collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: 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
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

NSF 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.
NSF received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register of October 10,
2016 (81 FR 72619).
Below we provide the NSF’s projected
average estimates for the next three
years:
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 30.
Respondents: Up to 1,000 per activity.
Annual Responses: 30,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes per Response: 30.
Burden Hours: 20,000.
Dated: April 5, 2017.
