(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: 1,843,779 annual burden
hours.
Note: SEVP saw an annual increase of
124,314 responses in each respondent group:
Students, DSOs, and employers during this
reporting cycle. This reflects an
unanticipated industry growth. SEVP subject
matter experts predict a one percent increase
of STEM OPT participants during the next
three years.
SEVP subject matter experts
anticipate a reduction in DSO burden
during the next three years as technical
improvements, such as the new Portal,
are more fully deployed. Table 3 shows
the differences between the current
estimates and the previous supporting
statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA
published a Federal Register notice,
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments, of the following collection of
information on September 28, 2018 (83
FR 49119).
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. The ICR documentation will be
available at https://www.reginfo.gov
upon its submission to OMB. Therefore,
in preparation for OMB review and
approval of the following information

collection, TSA is soliciting comments
to—
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
information requirement is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including using
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Consistent with the requirements of
Executive Order (E.O.) 13771, Reducing
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs, and E.O. 13777, Enforcing the
Regulatory Reform Agenda, TSA is also
requesting comments on the extent to
which this request for information could
be modified to reduce the burden on
respondents.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Type of Request: Extension.
OMB Control Number: 1652–0058.
Form(s): NA.
Affected Public: Individuals,
Households, Businesses, Organizations,
and State, Local or Tribal Governments.
Abstract: The information collection
activity provides a means to gather
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery.
From TSA’s perspective, qualitative
feedback from customers and
stakeholders is information that
provides useful insights on their
perceptions, experiences, opinions, and
expectations regarding TSA products or
services, provides TSA with an early
warning of issues with service, and
focuses attention on areas where
changes regarding communication,
training, or operations might improve
delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between TSA and its
customers and stakeholders. They 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered by TSA. If this
information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on TSA’s services will be
unavailable.
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. Information
gathered is intended to be used solely
within TSA general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of TSA (if released, TSA will
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information). Feedback collected under
this generic clearance provides useful
qualitative information, but it does not
yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. Qualitative
information is not designed or expected
to yield statistically reliable or
actionable results; it will not be used for
quantitative information collections.
Depending on the degree of influence
the results are likely to have, there may
be future information collection
submissions for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Below we provide TSA’s projected
average estimates for the next three
years:
Number of Respondents: 94,500.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: An
estimated 13,383 hours annually.
Dated: March 5, 2019.
