SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Number: 1545–2208.
Abstract: Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide
service to the public that matches or
exceeds the best service available in the
private sector. In order to work
continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, The Internal Revenue
Service (hereafter ‘‘the Agency’’) seeks
to obtain OMB approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback
on our 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.
Current Actions: We will be
conducting different opinion surveys,
focus group sessions, think-aloud
interviews, and usability studies
regarding cognitive research
surrounding forms submission or IRS
system/product development.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
businesses or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
150,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 1
hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 150,000.
The following paragraph applies to all
of the collections of information covered
by this notice:
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a valid OMB control number.
Books or records relating to a collection
of information must be retained as long
as their contents may become material
in the administration of any internal
revenue law. Generally, tax returns and
tax return information are confidential,
as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
