SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
OMB Control No. 0917–0036, Fast Track
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery: IHS Customer Service
Satisfaction and Similar Surveys.
Abstract: The IHS will be engaging in
information collection activities that
will garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery within
Federal Agencies. Qualitative feedback
is 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 insight into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
opinions, experiences and expectations,
and provide an early warning of issues
with service. Also, the collection of
qualitative feedback will assist IHS to
focus its 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. Furthermore, the
collection activity will allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback or information 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
collection 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, sampling
frame, sample design (including
stratification and clustering), precision
requirements or power calculations that
justify the proposed sample size, the
expected response rate, methods for
assessing potential non-response bias,
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. Below are the IHS
projected average estimates for the next
three years: 1
Current Actions: Extension of
approval for a collection of information.
Type of Review: Extension.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, and Tribal Government.
Average expected annual number of
activities: 100.
Respondents: 105,000.
Annual responses: 105,000.
Frequency of response: Once per
request.
Average minutes per response: 10.
Burden hours: 17,500.
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 OMB
control number.
