SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

    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 non-response 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 
Digital Government Strategy released by the White House in May, 2012 
drives agencies to have a more customer-centric focus. Because of this, 
GSA anticipates an increase in requests to use this generic clearance, 
as the plan states that: A customer-centric principle charges us to do 
several things: Conduct research to understand the customer's business, 
needs and desires; ``make content more broadly available and accessible 
and present it through multiple channels in a program-and device-
agnostic way; make content more accurate and understandable by 
maintaining plain language and content freshness standards; and offer 
easy paths for feedback to ensure we continually improve service 
delivery.
    The customer-centric principle holds true whether our customers are 
internal (e.g., the civilian and military federal workforce in both 
classified and unclassified environments) or external (e.g., individual 
citizens, businesses, research organizations, and state, local, and 
tribal governments).''

B. Annual Reporting Burden

    Respondents: 208,075.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Total Annual Responses: 208,075.
    Hours per response: 3.8385 minutes.
    Total Burden hours: 13,289.

C. Public Comments

    Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this 
collection of information is necessary and whether it will have 
practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the General Services 
Administration, Regulatory Secretariat Division (MVCB), 1800 F Street 
NW, Washington, DC 20405, telephone 202-501-4755. Please cite OMB
