Description: Form 941 is used by
employers to report payments made to
employees subject to income and social
security/Medicare taxes and the
amounts of these taxes. Form 941–PR is
used by employers in Puerto Rico to
report social security and Medicare
taxes only. Form 941–SS is used by
employers in the U.S. possessions to
report social security and Medicare
taxes only. Schedule B is used by
employers to record their employment
tax liability. The Form 8974 was
developed to determine the portion of
the elected amount that can be claimed
for the quarter on the Form 941. The
new Form 7200, Advance Payment of
Employer Credits Due to COVID–19, is
used to request an advance payment of
the tax credits for qualified sick and
qualified family leave wages, and the
employee retention credit. There has
been an increase in burden with the
addition of new Form 7200, Advance of
Employer Credit for Qualified Sick and
Family Leave Wages and changes to the
Form 941 and schedules, due to the
implementation of Division G of Public
Law 116–127, the Families First

stemming from the Novel (new)
Coronavirus (‘‘2019–nCoV’’) global

Description: Internal Revenue Code
section 6324A permits the executor of a
decedent’s estate to elect a lien on

OMB Control Number: 1545–2111.
Type of Review: Existing collection in

Description: Section 432(b)(3)(A)

multiemployer plan is or will be in
critical status, for each plan year. This
certification must be completed by the
90th day of the plan year and must be
provided to the Secretary of the
Treasury and to the plan sponsor. If the
certification is with respect to a plan
year that is within the plan’s funding
improvement period or rehabilitation
period arising from a prior certification
of endangered or critical status, the
actuary must also certify whether the
plan is making scheduled progress in
meeting the requirements of its funding
improvement or rehabilitation plan.
Actuaries submit certifications in
various formats and lengths. The
creation of an established form would
limit the submissions to the information
required within an annual certification,
reducing the burden to all those
affected.

18:25 Sep 25, 2020
Jkt 250001
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501–21.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0770.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
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.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and 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 the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
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 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 will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; 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 it does 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 to
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.
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.
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 OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 85 FR
142 on July 23, 2020, pages 44581 and
44582.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; Businesses and
Organizations; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
