the public on service delivery in an
efficient and timely manner to ensure
that EIA’s programs effectively meet our
customers’ needs and to collect
feedback on improving service delivery
to the public.
DATES: EIA must receive all comments
on this proposed information collection
no later than February 7, 2022. If you

(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension without change;
(4) Purpose: This information
collection activity provides a means to
collect qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback means data 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 the
study. This feedback provides insights
into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations. It also provides an early
warning of issues with service, or
focuses attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve the accuracy
of data report on survey instruments or
the delivery of products or services.
These collections allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between the agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
also allows feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management. EIA will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
• 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;
• 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; and
• With the exception of information
needed to provide remuneration for
participants of focus groups and
cognitive laboratory studies, personally
identifiable information (PII) is
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained.
If these conditions are not met, EIA
will submit an information collection
request to OMB for approval through the
normal PRA process. The solicitation of
feedback on Agency Service Delivery
includes topics such as: Timeliness of
publishing, understanding of questions
and terminology used in EIA products,
perceptions on data confidentiality and
security, appropriateness and relevancy
of information published, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
are assessed to plan and inform efforts
to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. Advances
in technology and service delivery
systems in the private sector, have
increased the public’s expectations of
the Government’s customer service
promise. The Federal Government has a
responsibility to streamline and make
more efficient its service delivery to
better serve the public.
(5) Annual Estimated Number of
Respondents: 80,600;
(6) Annual Estimated Number of
Total Responses: 80,600;
(7) Annual Estimated Number of
Burden Hours: 8,600;
(8) Annual Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping Cost Burden: $702,190
(8,600 annual burden hours multiplied
by $81.65 per hour). EIA estimates that
respondents will have no additional
costs associated with the surveys other
than the burden hours and the
maintenance of the information during
the normal course of business.
Comments are invited on whether or
not: (a) The proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of agency functions,
including whether the information will
have a practical utility; (b) EIA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used, is accurate; (c) EIA
can improve the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information it will collect;
and (d) EIA can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, such as automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
