Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB No.: 0970–0401.
Description: 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 the
Administration for Children and
Families’ programs are effective and
meet our customers’ needs we use a
generic clearance process to collect
qualitative feedback on our service
delivery. This collection of information
is necessary to enable ACF to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient timely manner, in accord
with our commitment to improving
service delivery. The information
collected from our customers and
stakeholders will help ensure that users
have an effective, efficient and
satisfying experience with the programs.
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 change in
operation might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between
ACF and its customer and stakeholders.
It will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management.
This request is an extension of the
‘‘generic fast-track’’ process offered to
all government agencies by OMB in
2010. Fast-tack means each request
receives approval five days after
submission, if no issues are brought to
ACF’s attention by OMB within the five
days.
