appropriateness; accuracy of
information; courtesy; efficiency of
service delivery; and resolution of
issues with service delivery. We will
assess responses to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If we do not collect this information, we
would not have access to vital feedback
from customers and stakeholders on
SSA’s services.
We will only submit a collection for
approval under this generic clearance if
it meets the following conditions: (1)
The collections are voluntary; (2) 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; (3) the collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies; (4)
any collection 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; (5)
we collect personally identifiable
information (PII) only to the extent
necessary and we do not retain it; (6) we
will use information gathered only
internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and we will not release it
outside of the agency; (7) we will not
use information we gather for the
purpose of substantially informing
influential policy decisions; and (8)
information we gather will yield
qualitative information; 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.
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
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.
The respondents are recipients of SSA
services (including most members of the
public), professionals, and individuals
who work on behalf of SSA
beneficiaries.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, State, Local or Tribal
government.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 205,485.
Below we provide projected average
estimates for the next three years:
Annual Respondents: 68,495.
Annual Responses: 68,495.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes per Response: 18
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 205,549
hours.
Dated: June 13, 2017.
