• It is non-controversial and does not
raise issues of concern to other Federal
agencies;
• It is targeted to solicit opinions
from respondents who have experience
with the program or will have
experience with the program in the near
future;
• It includes personally identifiable
information (PII) only to the extent
necessary, and the OCC does not retain
the PII; 1

be used internally only for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the OCC;
• It does not gather information to be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;

yield qualitative information and will
not be designed or expected to yield
statistically reliable results or used to
reach general conclusions about the
surveyed population; and
• Feedback collected provides useful
information but does not yield data that
can be attributed to the overall
population.
If these conditions are not met, the
