Services.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Eunice Kennedy Shriver
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on the ‘‘Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery ’’
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). This collection
was developed as part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process for seeking feedback from
the public on service delivery. This
notice announces our intent to submit
this collection to OMB for approval and
solicits comments on specific aspects
for the proposed information collection.
DATES: Comments regarding this
information collection are best assured
of having their full effect if received
within 60 days of the date of this
publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
obtain a copy of the data collection
plans and instruments, submit
comments in writing, or request more
information on the proposed project,

plans and instruments must be
requested in writing.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 requires: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited
to address one or more of the following
points: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Proposed Collection Title: Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery (NICHD), 0925–0643,
Expiration Date 10/31/2014,
EXTENSION, Eunice Kennedy Shriver
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: There are no changes being
requested for this submission. The
proposed information collection activity
provides a means to 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 information
about the NICHD’s 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 the
E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM
28AUN1
40779
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2017 / Notices
NICHD and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the NICHD’s services
will be unavailable.
The NICHD will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• 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;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is 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;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered 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.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
4,950.
