ACTION: Notice of Information
Collection, request for comment.
AGENCY:
The Department of
Commerce, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), invites the general public and
other Federal agencies to comment on
proposed, and continuing information
collections, which helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. The purpose of this
notice is to allow for 60 days of public
comment preceding submission of the
collection to OMB.
DATES: To ensure consideration,
comments regarding this proposed
information collection must be received
on or before May 3, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments to
Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer,
at Adrienne.thomas@noaa.gov. Please
reference OMB Control Number 0648–
0342 in the subject line of your
comments. Do not submit Confidential

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved generic information
collection.
This collection follows the guidelines
contained in the OMB Resource Manual
for Customer Surveys. In accordance
with Executive Order 12862, the
National Performance Review, and good
management practices, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) offices seek
approval to continue to gather customer
feedback on services and/or products
which can be used in planning for
service/product modification and
prioritization. Under this generic
clearance, individual offices would use
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

approved questionnaires and develop
new questionnaires, as needed, by
selecting subsets of the approved set of
collection questions and tailoring those
specific questions to be meaningful for
their particular programs. These
proposed questionnaires would then be
submitted to OMB using a fast-track
request for approval process, for which
separate Federal Register notices are not
required. Surveys currently typically
include IT and website satisfaction
surveys, Weather Service product
surveys, and National Marine Sanctuary
participation surveys, among others.
This generic clearance will not be
used to survey any bodies NOAA
regulates unless precautions are taken to
ensure that the respondents believe that
they are not under any risk for not
responding or for the contents of their
responses, e.g., in no survey to such a
population will the names and
addresses of respondents be required.
Two sets of survey questions are used
for generation of program-level
questionnaires. Quantitative questions
seek to obtain numerical ratings from
respondents on their satisfaction with
various aspects of the product or service
they obtained—satisfaction with the
quality of the product, the courtesy of
the staff, the format of and
documentation for data received, and
similar standard types of questions. The
offices using such questions are able to
determine which aspects of their
program need improvement or have
improved. Qualitative questions are
more focused on who is using the
product and service, how it is being
used, and the medium or format in
which the respondent would like to see
data provided.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected via
email or online survey.
III. Data
