timely and consistent process for
Paperwork Reduction Act compliance,
the Federal Aviation Administration is
proposing to develop a Generic
Information Collection Request to be
utilized for Customer Interactions that
support the Agency’s mission.
Customer Interactions can support the
Federal Aviation Administration’s
mission by allowing the Agency to
collect qualitative and quantitative data
that can help inform scientific research;
aviation assessments and monitoring
efforts; validate models or tools; and
enhance the quantity and quality of data
collected across communities. Customer
Interactions also create an avenue to
incorporate local knowledge and needs,
and can contribute to increased data
sharing, open data, and government
transparency. The Federal Aviation
Administration may sponsor the
collection of this type of information in
connection with aviation projects. All
such collections will follow Agency
policies and regulations. If a new
collection is not within the parameters
of this generic Information Collection
Request (ICR), the Agency will submit a
separate information collection request
to Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for approval.
Collections under this generic ICR
will be from volunteers who participate
on their own initiative through an open
and transparent process; the collections
will be low-burden for participants;
collections will be low-cost for both the
participants and the Federal
Government; and data will be available
to support the endeavors of the Agency,
states, tribal or local entities where data
collection occurs.
Respondents: Approximately 110,000
Individuals and Households, Businesses
and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Frequency: Once per request.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
18330 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for FAA’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be
minimized without reducing the quality
of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your
comments in the request for OMB’s
clearance of this information collection.

mean information that provides 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 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.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will 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
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Respondents: Approximately 110,000
Individuals and Households, Businesses
and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
