AGENCY:
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity
to comment on the ‘‘Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery’’
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA). This collection
was developed as part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process for seeking feedback from
the public on service delivery. This
notice announces our intent to submit
this collection to OMB for approval and
solicits comments on specific aspects
for the proposed information collection,
DATES: All comments should be
submitted within 30 calendar days from
the date of this publication.
ADDRESSES: All comments should be
addressed to Gatrie Johnson, National
Aeronautics and Space Administration,
300 E Street SW, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The proposed information collection
activity provides a means to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’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
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
II. Methods of Collection
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 non-controversial
and do not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
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
E:\FR\FM\20JYN1.SGM
20JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2018 / Notices
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 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.

Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (ODNI).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In December 2011, the ODNI
accepted responsibility from the
Information Security Oversight Office
(ISOO) to manage the Standard Form
714, Financial Disclosure Report, in
accordance with the responsibilities
assigned to the Director of National
Intelligence (DNI) as the Security
Executive Agent. The Standard Form
714 is used across the U.S. Government
for assessing an individual’s eligibility
(or continued eligibility) for access to
certain types of classified information.
This standard form must be completed
and submitted as a condition for access
to designated classified information,
along with a favorably adjudicated
personnel security background
investigation or reinvestigation. In
accordance with the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
process for Federal agency adherence to
the Paperwork Reduction Act, this 30day Notice is to advise of ODNI’s intent
to now submit Standard Form 714 to
OMB for review and approval and to
invite comments from the general public
and other Federal Agencies. As the
ODNI proposes no changes to Standard
Form 714 and its instructions at this
time, the ODNI is seeking to extend the
current version of the Standard Form
714 for three additional years from its
scheduled expiration on 31 August
2018. On 12 February 2018, the Federal
Register published a Notice inviting the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on the ODNI’s
intent to extend the use of the current
version of Standard Form 714 for an
additional three years. The Notice
resulted in one comment/suggestion
from the general public related to
‘‘ways, including the use of information
technology, to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on all
respondents to the Standard Form 714.’’
ODNI responded directly to the
individual thanking them for their

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), the ODNI is requesting
extension in effect of Standard Form
714, proposing no changes to the Form
and its instructions at this time. The
ODNI invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
Standard Form 714. The comments and
suggestions should address one or more
of the following points: (a) Whether the
proposed information collection
reflected in the Standard Form 714
meets the intent of section 1.3
(‘‘Financial Disclosure’’) of Executive
Order 12968, as amended (‘‘Access to
Classified Information’’); (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden of the
proposed information collection for
Standard Form 714; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected in the
Standard Form 714; (d) ways, including
the use of information technology, to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on all respondents to the
Standard Form 714; and (e) whether
small businesses are affected by this
collection. All comments will become a
matter of public record.
Abstract: The National Security Act of
1947, as amended; section 3001 of the
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004; and Executive
Order 13467, ‘‘Reforming Processes
Related to Suitability for Government
Employment, Fitness for Contractor
Employees, and Eligibility for Access to
Classified National Security
Information,’’ as amended, authorize the
DNI, as the Security Executive Agent, to
