SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Number: 0583–0151.
Expiration Date of Approval: 6/30/
2021.
Type of Request: Renewal of an
approved information collection.
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the
authority to exercise the functions of the
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified
in the Federal Meat Inspection Act
(FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.) and the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These statutes
mandate that FSIS protect the public by
verifying that meat, poultry, and egg
products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged.
FSIS is requesting renewal of the
approved information collection
regarding qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback on service delivery
by the Agency. There are no changes to
the existing information collection. The
approval for this information collection
will expire on June 30, 2021.
The proposed information collection
activity provides a means for FSIS to
garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Agency’s commitment to improving
service delivery.
By ‘‘qualitative feedback,’’ FSIS
means information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but not a statistical survey that yields
VerDate Sep<11>2014
22:33 Dec 18, 2020
Jkt 253001
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population studied.
Qualitative feedback provides insights
into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations; provides an early warning
of issues with the Agency’s customer
service; and focuses attention on matters
with respect to which communication
or changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. This
collection will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
will also allow the feedback to
contribute directly to the improvement
of program management.
The solicitation of qualitative
feedback will target topics 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.
FSIS will only submit a collection for
approval under this generic clearance if
it meets the following conditions:
The collection is voluntary;
The collection is low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and is low-cost for both the
respondents and the Federal
Government;
The collection is non-controversial
and does not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
The collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have had experience
with the program, or who 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; as a
general matter, this information
collection will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not involve
questions of a sensitive nature, such as
sexual behavior and attitudes, religious
beliefs, or other matters that are
commonly considered private;
Information gathered is intended to be
used only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of FSIS (if released, FSIS will
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Information gathered will not be used
for the purpose of substantially
informing policy decisions; and
Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collection
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. FSIS has made
the following estimates based upon an
information collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .5
hours per response.
Respondents: Individuals and
households; businesses and
organizations; State, local, or Tribal
government.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 4,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 4,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,000 hours.

assessment can be obtained from Gina
