experience to the average of the private
sector service industry; developing
indicators for high-impact Federal
programs to monitor progress towards
excellent customer experience and
mature digital services; and providing
the structure (including increasing
transparency) and resources to ensure
customer experience is a focal point for
agency leadership.
This proposed information collection
activity provides a means to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving customer
service delivery as discussed in Section
280 of OMB Circular A–11 at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/
uploads/2018/06/s280.pdf.
As discussed in OMB guidance,
agencies should identify their highestimpact customer journeys (using
customer volume, annual program cost,
and/or knowledge of customer priority
as weighting factors) and select
touchpoints/transactions within those
journeys to collect feedback.
These results will be used to improve
the delivery of Federal services and
programs. It will also provide
government-wide data on customer
experience that can be displayed on
www.performance.gov to help build
transparency and accountability of
Federal programs to the customers they
serve.
As a general matter, these 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.
Social Security Administration will
only submit collections if they meet the
following criteria.
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours 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 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 for general service improvement
and program management purposes; and

• Upon agreement between OMB and
the agency all or a subset of information
may be released as part of A–11, Section
280 requirements only on
performance.gov. Summaries of
customer research and user testing
activities may be included in publicfacing customer journey maps.
• Additional release of data must be
done coordinated with OMB.
These collections will allow for
ongoing, collaborative and actionable
communications between the Agency,
its customers and stakeholders, and
OMB as it monitors agency compliance
on Section 280. These responses will
inform efforts to improve or maintain
the quality of service offered to the
public. If this information is not
collected, vital feedback from customers
and stakeholders on services will be
unavailable.
Current Action: New Collection of
Information.
Type of Review: New.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Below is a preliminary estimate of the
aggregate burden hours for this new
collection. Social Security
Administration will provide refined
estimates of burden in subsequent
notices.
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: Approximately 17,866,680
customer experience activities such as
feedback surveys, focus groups, user
testing, and interviews.
Average Number of Respondents per
Activity: 1 response per respondent per
activity.
Annual Responses: 5,955,560.
Average Minutes per Response: 12
minutes, dependent upon activity.
Note: This burden per response figure
is not exact, as we will have multiple
collection modalities under this OMB
Number with different response time
estimates, and we input the closest
minute estimate to complete the chart.
In the Supporting documents, we will
explain in further detail the different
modalities and their actual numbers.
Burden Hours: Social Security
Administration requests approximately
1,142,192 burden hours.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
PO 00000

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.
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.
All written comments will be
available for public inspection at
Regulations.gov.
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.

A. Program Description
Under FTA’s Public Transportation
Innovation program (49 U.S.C. 5312)
FTA may make grants, or enter into
contracts or cooperative agreements, for
research, development, demonstration
and deployment projects of national
significance to public transportation
agencies that the Secretary determines
will improve public transportation
service. The AIM Challenge Grants has
been developed under this authority.
The AIM Challenge Grants are part of
FTA’s new AIM Initiative to foster
innovative transit technologies,
practices and solutions that incentivize
travelers to choose public
transportation, promote economic
development in communities, and
enhance public/private partnerships to
improve personal mobility. Further, the
AIM Initiative seeks to ensure these new
technologies or practices permit
interoperability across systems and
modes. The AIM Initiative also seeks to
harness Federal, local and private sector
investments in transportation and
mobility innovations. The FTA, in
collaboration with the public
transportation industry, has invested
significant resources in advancing the
state of the practice as well as
developing and demonstrating
technologies and practices to make
public transportation safer, more
effective and efficient. The
transportation sector and rider
expectations have evolved, with more
options and capabilities now available.
The FTA seeks applications for AIM
Challenge Grant projects from public
transportation-led teams that can
accelerate the development and
adoption of innovative technologies,
practices, and service models to
improve mobility and enhance the rider
experience, with a focus on innovative
service delivery models, creative
financing, novel partnerships, and
integrated payment solutions. AIM
Challenge Grant recipients selected
through this NOFO will be designated
as the inaugural class of AIM
Incubators, a national network of
innovative transit agencies that test new
mobility solutions and broadly share the
results with industry. The FTA provides
this funding opportunity based on the
traditional challenge grant concept of
