—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;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Evaluate the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
—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.
Overview of This Collection:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: 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.
Below we provide the Department of
Justice’s projected average estimates for
the next three years:
Current Action: Extension.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: 42.
Average Number of Respondents per
Activity: 51,500.
Annual Responses: 309,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes per Response: 30
min.
Burden Hours: 99,847.
Federal Government Cost: $176,925.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Amended Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On October 31, 2019, the Department
of Justice lodged a proposed Amended
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the District of
Minnesota in the lawsuit entitled
United States, et al. v. Reilly Tar &
Chem. Corp., et al., Civil Action No.
4:80–cv–469.
On September 4, 1986, the Court had
previously entered a Consent Decree in
this action resolving claims brought by
Plaintiffs the United States of America
and the State of Minnesota against
Reilly Tar & Chemical Corporation,
Housing and Redevelopment of St.
Louis Park, Oak Park Village Associates,
Rustic Oaks Condominium Inc., and
Phillip’s Investment Co. (collectively,
the ‘‘Defendants’’), and the consolidated
actions brought by the City of St. Louis
Park and the City of Hopkins against
Reilly Tar & Chemical Corporation.
Those actions were brought under
Sections 106 and 107 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), 42 U.S.C. 9606–07,
seeking injunctive relief regarding the
cleanup of the Reilly Tar & Chemical
Corporation (St. Louis Park Plant)
Superfund Site in St. Louis Park,
Minnesota (the ‘‘Site’’) and recovery of
certain response costs incurred in
connection with releases and threatened
releases of hazardous substances at and
from the Site.
The proposed Amended Consent
Decree addresses issues raised by the
PO 00000

successor in liability, updated state and
federal Performance Standards for
various contaminants of concern, as
well as an evolved understanding of the
conceptual site model. The proposed
Amended Consent Decree reflects a
cooperative approach among the
remaining parties to address these
issues. The City of St. Louis Park will
formally undertake the obligation to
finance and perform the remaining work
addressing contaminated groundwater,
obligations previously undertaken by
the City of St. Louis Park pursuant to a
side-agreement with Reilly Tar, and the
Remedial Action Plan has been updated
to incorporate current Maximum
Contaminant Levels and state limits for
the contaminants of concern.

Abstract: The information collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely
