Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; 30-Day Notice for Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery
AGENCY:
National Endowment for the
Arts.
ACTION:
Notice.
As part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process to seek feedback from the
public on service delivery, The National
Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has
submitted a Generic Information
Collection Request (Generic ICR):
‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery’’ to OMB for approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
Copies of this ICR, with applicable
supporting documentation, may be
obtained by visiting www.Reginfo.gov.
DATES: Comments should be sent to the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for the
National Endowment for the Arts, Office
of Management and Budget, Room
10235, Washington, DC 20503, 202/395–
7316, within 30 days from the date of
this publication in the Federal Register.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 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 the
Agency 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 Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency 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 is used only
internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
PO 00000
Frm 00088
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Information gathered is not used for
the purpose of substantially informing
influential policy decisions; and
• Information gathered yields
qualitative information; the collections
are not 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.
Title of Collection: Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 3135–0130.
Type of Review: Extension of approval
for a collection of information.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.

costs and costs of operation,

agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,

and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
All written comments will be
available for public inspection at
reginfo.gov.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
