Needs and Uses: The information collection provides a means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving 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 SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained; • 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; 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.

Background On January 13, 2021, the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) published a final rule (86 FR 2744) reissuing and modifying 12 existing Nationwide Permits (NWPs) and issuing four new NWPs, as well as the NWP general conditions and definitions. In addition, the Corps published another final rule (86 FR 73522) reissuing 40 NWPs and issuing one new NWP on December 27, 2021. Both sets of NWPs are currently set to expire on March 14, 2026. The NWPs authorize certain activities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 with no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse effects to the environment. Section 404(e) of the Clean Water Act provides the statutory authority for NWP issuance, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, for a period of no more than five years after the date of issuance (33 U.S.C. 1344(e)). Nationwide permits are a type of general permit and are designed to regulate with little, if any, delay or paperwork certain activities in federally jurisdictional waters and wetlands (see 33 CFR 330.1(b)). This program can incentivize project proponents to reduce the adverse effects of their planned activities that would otherwise require an individual permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, in order to qualify for NWP authorization. The categories of activities authorized by NWPs must be similar in nature, cause only minimal adverse environmental effects when performed separately, and have only minimal cumulative adverse effects on the environment (see 33 U.S.C. 1344(e)(1)). By regulation, NWPs can be modified, reissued, revoked, or suspended before they expire (see 33 CFR 330.5). E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM 28MRN1
