In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) has submitted the information
collection request titled ‘‘Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery’’ to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. ATSDR previously published
a ‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations’’ notice on March 26,
2021, to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies. ATSDR
did not receive comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to

allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
ATSDR will accept all comments for
this proposed information collection
project. The Office of Management and
Budget is particularly interested in
comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570.

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB Control No.
0923–0047, Exp. 01/31/2022)—
Extension—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
The information collection activity
provides a means to garner 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 that provides
E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM
16NON1
63393
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 16, 2021 / Notices
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.
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 the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
ATSDR will only submit a collection
for approval under this generic
clearance if it meets the following
conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any 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
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• 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 the
agency (if released, the agency 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; the collections
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. 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 to
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.
As a general matter, information
collections 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.
This is an extension of the previously
approved collection. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is
7,075 hours.
