Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to

stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with our
commitment to improving service
delivery. The information collected
from our customers and stakeholders
will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying
experience with the Agency’s programs.
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.
