Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 24, 2020 / Notices
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Commission’s
services will be unavailable. 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. 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.
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 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.

(3) Estimated Burden of the Proposed
Information Collection
The Commission estimates that
information collections issued under the
requested generic clearance will impose
an average annual burden of 300 hours
on 600 respondents.
No record-keeping burden is known
to result from the proposed collection of
information.
By order of the Commission,
Issued: November 18, 2020.
