approved information collection for
which approval has expired.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 3136–0140.
Abstract: Reinstatement of this
information collection will enable NEH
to obtain 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 not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide NEH with
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations; help NEH quickly identify
actual or potential problems with how
the agency provides services to the
public; or focus attention on areas
where communication, training, or
changes in operations might improve
NEH’s delivery of its products or
services. These collections will allow
for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between
NEH and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
NEH will solicit feedback in areas
such as: Timeliness, appropriateness,
accuracy of information, courtesy,
efficiency of service delivery, and
resolution of issues with service
delivery. NEH will use the responses to
plan and inform its efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service and
programs offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, NEH will
not have access to vital feedback from
customers and stakeholders about the
agency’s services and programs.
NEH will only submit an information
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 noncontroversial 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 who may have

experience with the program in the near
future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary, and is not retained;
• Information gathered is intended to
be used only internally for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the
agency (if released, NEH will indicate
the qualitative nature of the
information);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information, and 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 will not yield data that can be
generalize 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.
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.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10,000.
Estimated Annual Frequency per
Response: Once per information
collection request.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 2,500 hours.
Request for Comments
The public is invited to comment on
all aspects of this ICR, including: (a)
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) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
