SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: This information collection
activity provides a means for the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with APHIS’ commitment to
improving service delivery.
By qualitative feedback, we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback provides insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations; provides
an early warning of issues with service;
or focuses attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. This collection
will allow for ongoing, generic
collaborative and actionable
communications between APHIS and its
customers and stakeholders. It will also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas 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 APHIS’ services will be
unavailable.
APHIS 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 experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;

Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• 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 APHIS (if
released, APHIS must indicate the
qualitative nature of the information);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information (i.e., 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).
As a general matter, this information
collection will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 0.1 hours (6
minutes) per response.
Respondents: Individuals and
households; businesses and
organizations; State, local, or Tribal
governments; and foreign federal
governments.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 250,000.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 1.

Estimated annual number of
responses: 250,000.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 25,000 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 26th day of
August 2021.

State agencies provide the

information is then accessible to all
State agencies that participate in this

The NDL system of records currently
contains a list of institutions,
responsible individuals, and family day

disqualified by State agencies from
participating in CACFP. The NDL
