Summary of Collection: The National
Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) is a
voluntary Federal-State-industry
program for controlling certain poultry
diseases and for improving poultry
breeding flocks and products through
disease control techniques. It is
authorized by the USDA Organic Act of
1944, as amended (7 U.S.C. 429) and the
cooperative work is carried out through
memoranda of understanding with the
participating States. Specific NPIP
provisions are contained in Title 9, Parts
56, 145, 146, and 147 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. The Veterinary
Services (VS) unit of USDA’s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) administers these regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information using
several information collection activities
to continually improve the health of the
U.S. poultry population and the quality
of U.S. poultry products. If the
information were collected less
frequently or not collected, APHIS
could not affectively monitor the health
of the nation’s poultry population.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery.
Type of Request: New collection.
Abstract: This information collection
activity provides a means to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Agency’s
commitment to improve service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
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. 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. The Agency 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.
Type of Respondents: Individuals and
Households, Business and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimate of Burden per Response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 15,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,500 total hours per year.
Comment is Invited: Comment is
invited on: (1) Whether this collection
of information is necessary for the stated
purposes and the proper performance of
the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
