Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
has submitted the information
collection request titled Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a
‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on March 23,
2018 to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. CDC did
not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
VerDate Sep<11>2014

(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB 0920–1050,
Expiration 6/30/2019)—Revision—
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
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, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks to
obtain OMB approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback
on our service delivery on collections.
The information collection activity will
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
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.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will 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
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.
The Agency received no comments in
response to the 60-day notice published
in the Federal Register on March 23,
2018 (vol. 83, No. 57, pages 12766–
12768). OMB approval is requested for
three years. The estimated annualized
burden hours are 22,250.

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery (OMB 0920-1050, Expiration 6/30/2019)--
Revision--Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
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, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a
generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service
delivery on collections. The information collection activity will
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 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.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful
information, but it will 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

testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior 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.
The Agency received no comments in response to the 60-day notice
published in the Federal Register on March 23, 2018 (vol. 83, No. 57,
