Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (0920–1071, 06/30/
2018)—Extension—National Center for
Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious
Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC/NCEZID seeks a three-year
extension of the information collection
plan titled ‘‘Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery’’ (OMB Control
Number 0920–1071). Approval of this
plan will allow CDC to continue
collection of routine customer feedback
on agency service delivery efforts.
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 our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, the CDC (hereafter the
‘‘Agency’’) seeks to obtain OMB
approval of a generic clearance to
collect qualitative feedback on our
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 collection of information is
necessary to enable the Agency to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance 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 Agency’s 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 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.
Since getting approval in June 2015,
NCEZID has utilized this information
collection plan (OMB Control Number
0920–1071) nine separate times (16,800
responses and 2,029 burden hours).
There is no cost to respondents other
than the time to participate.
Authorizing legislation comes from
Section 301 of the Public Health Service
Act (42 U.S.C. 241).
