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
government’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.
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.
No comments were received by the
agency in response to the 60-day notice
published in the Federal Register of
December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80542).
Below we provide EEOC’s projected
average estimates for the next three
years:
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 5.
Respondents: 8,020.
Annual Responses: 11,020.
Frequency of Response: Once per
respondent for four activities, twice per
respondent for one activity.
Average Minutes per Response: 6.5.
Burden Hours: 1194.
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.
For the Commission.
Dated: November 9, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FTC Cigarette and Smokeless
Tobacco Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 3084–0134.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.
On August 10, 2017, the Commission
sought comment on the information
collection requirements associated with
the Cigarette and Smokeless Tobacco
Data Collection. 82 FR 37440 (‘‘August
10, 2017 Notice’’). Pursuant to the OMB
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that
implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq., the FTC is providing a second
opportunity for the public to comment
while seeking OMB approval to renew
the existing clearance for the
information the FTC proposes to seek
from the largest domestic cigarette
manufacturers and smokeless tobacco
manufacturers.
In response to the August 10, 2017
Notice, the Commission received
comments from the Campaign for
Tobacco-Free Kids (‘‘CTFK’’) and Altria
Client Services (‘‘Altria’’).
The CTFK comment specifically
noted the utility and importance of the
Commission’s Cigarette and Smokeless
Tobacco Reports, and urged the agency
to continue collecting and reporting
industry sales and marketing
expenditure data, which CTFK stated
provide ‘‘critical data to researchers,
policymakers, advocates and the general
public.’’ CTFK additionally observed:
The FTC is currently the primary source
for data on cigarette and smokeless tobacco
companies’ marketing and promotional
expenditures. No other agency collects and
publishes such information directly from the
companies, making the FTC reports the most
accurate and reliable assessment of tobacco
marketing and promotion expenditures
available.
CTFK at 1.
CTFK, however, suggested certain
modifications to the Commission’s
reports. Specifically, CTFK
recommended that the Commission: (1)
Report separately price discount
expenditures for retailers and
wholesalers; (2) clarify the definitions of
certain expenditure categories—
specifically, in which category coupons
that consumers obtain online are to be
counted; (3) report data on a company-
