Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 139 / Thursday, July 19, 2018 / Notices
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal
Agencies to comment on the proposed
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
EXIM’s financial institution policy
holders provide this form to U.S.
exporters, who certify to the eligibility
of their exports for EXIM support. The
completed forms are held by the
financial institution policy holders, only
to be submitted to EXIM in the event of
a claim filing. A requirement of EXIM’s
policies is that the insured financial
institution policy holder obtains a
completed Exporter’s Certificate at the
time it provides financing for an export.
This form will enable EXIM to identify
the specific details of the export
transaction. These details are necessary
for determining the eligibility of claims
for approval. EXIM staff and contractors
review this information to assist in
determining that an export transaction,
on which a claim for non-payment has
been submitted, meets all of the terms
and conditions of the insurance
coverage.
Comments must be received on
or before September 17, 2018 to be
assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted electronically on
www.regulations.gov (EIB 94–07) or by
email Mia.Johnson@exim.gov, or by mail
to Mia L. Johnson, Export-Import Bank,
811 Vermont Ave. NW, Washington, DC
20571. The form can be viewed at

certification regarding the export

EXIM’s country cover policy, and their

programs. These details are necessary to
determine the legitimacy of claims
submitted. It also provides the financial
institution policy holder a check on the
export transaction’s eligibility, at the
time it is fulfilling a financing request.

entities involved in the export of U.S.
goods and services.

Relocation Allowances—Waiver of
certain provisions of the FTR Chapter
302 for official relocation travel to
locations in the U.S. Virgin Islands and

by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
AGENCY:
The purpose of this notice is
to inform Federal agencies that certain
provisions of the FTR governing official
relocation travel expenses are
temporarily waived for United States
(U.S.) Virgin Islands and
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico locations
impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
As a result of the storm damage caused
by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, agencies
should consider delaying all nonessential relocations to the affected
areas given the statutory 120-day
maximum for Temporary Quarters
Subsistence Expenses (TQSE). Due to
the lasting effects of the storm damage
to these affected areas, finding lodging
facilities and/or adequate meals may be
difficult, and distances involved may be
great, resulting in increased costs for
relocation per diem expenses. FTR
Bulletin 18–07 and all other FTR
Bulletins can be found at www.gsa.gov/

DATES: Applicable: July 19, 2018.
Applicability: The Bulletin is
retroactively applicable for official

September 7, 2017, the date of the
Presidential Disaster Declaration DR–
4335, to locations in the U.S. Virgin
Islands affected by Hurricane Irma, and

and allows for an additional 30 days of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Fast Track Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Number: To be determined.
Needs and Uses: The proposed
information collection provides a means
to garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
agency’s commitment to improving
service delivery. Qualitative feedback
means information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but is not a statistical survey that yields
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.
OGE expects to use various methods
(e.g., focus groups, customer satisfaction
surveys, comment cards), to solicit
feedback. Responses will be assessed to
plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to
the public and other agency
stakeholders. 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;
• The collections are focused on the
awareness, understanding, attitudes,
preferences, or experiences of the public

or other stakeholders in order to
improve existing or future services,
products, or communication materials;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
to the public;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be 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 submitted under this generic
clearance 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.
A Federal Register Notice with a 60day comment period soliciting
comments on this information
collection was published on April 12,
2018 (83 FR 15837–15838). OGE did not
receive any comments in response.
Current Action: New information
collection request (generic).
Type of Review: New.
