Abstract: The proposed information collection activity facilitates collection of qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Federal Government’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information collections that provide 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 insight 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 services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Access Board and its customers and stakeholders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Under the PRA and its implementing regulations (5 CFR part 1320), 
Federal agencies must generally provide opportunities for public 
comment and obtain OMB approval for each collection of information they 
conduct or sponsor (e.g., contractually-required information collection 
by a third-party). ``Collection of information'' refers to agency 
informational requests that pose identical questions to, or impose 
reporting or record-keeping obligations on, ten or more non-federal 
entities or persons, regardless of whether response is mandatory or 
voluntary. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 3502(3).
    In December 2020, the Access Board published a 60-day notice 
concerning the proposed renewal of its existing generic clearance for 
the collection of qualitative feedback, which expires in May 2021 (OMB 
Control No. 3014-0011). 82 FR 37421 (Aug. 10, 2017). We received no 
comments in response to this 60-day notice.

B. Overview of Requested Generic Clearance Renewal

    By this notice, the Access Board announces that it has requested 
OMB renewal of our existing generic clearance so that we may continue 
ongoing efforts to solicit qualitative customer feedback on agency 
programs and services. OMB approval is requested for three years. 
Provided below is an overview of the existing generic clearance for 
which the Access Board seeks renewal:
    OMB Control Number: 3014-0011.
    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 
on Agency Service Delivery.
    Type of Request: Extension without change.
    Abstract: The proposed information collection activity facilitates 
collection of qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an 
efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Federal Government's 
commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we 
mean information collections that provide 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 insight 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 services. 
These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable 
communications between the Access Board and its customers and 
stakeholders.
