SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Census Bureau is requesting
generic clearance to conduct customer
satisfaction research which may be in
the form of mailed or electronic
questionnaires and/or focus groups,
telephone interviews, or web-based
interviews.
The Census Bureau has ranked a
customer-focused environment as one of
its most important strategic planning
objectives. The Census Bureau routinely
needs to collect and analyze customer
feedback about its products and services
to better align them to its customers’
needs and preferences. Several
programs, products, and distribution
channels have been designed and/or
redesigned based on feedback from its
various customer satisfaction research
efforts.
Each research design is reviewed for
content, utility, and user-friendliness by
a variety of appropriate staff (including
research design and subject-matter
experts). The concept and design are
tested by internal staff and a select
sample of respondents to confirm its
appropriateness, user-friendliness, and
to estimate burden (including hours and
cost) of the proposed collection of
information. Collection techniques are
discussed and included in the research,
concept, and design discussion to define
the most time-, cost-efficient and
accurate collection media.
The clearance operates in the
following manner: A block of burden
hours is reserved at the beginning of the
clearance period. The particular
activities that will be conducted under
the clearance are not specified in
advance because they would not be
known at the beginning of the clearance
period. The Census Bureau provides
detailed information to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) about
the specific activities a minimum of two
weeks prior to the planned start date of
the collection. OMB provides any
comments it may have prior to the start
date of the planned activity. At the end
of each year, a report is submitted to
OMB that summarizes the number of
hours used as well as the nature and
results of the activities completed under
the clearance.
II. Method of Collection
This research may be in the form of
mailed or electronic questionnaires and/
or focus groups, telephone or web-based
interviews.

below, Kaiser would be able to choose
the duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to: Hollow profile

of aluminum alloys; rounded bars and
rods of aluminum alloys; non-rounded

aluminum logs and billets (duty-free).
The request indicates that the materials/
components are subject to special duties
under Section 232 of the Trade
