SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Veterinary Services Field Operations Services Customer Service Survey Project. OMB Control Number: 0579–0334. Type of Request: Extension of approval of an information collection. Abstract: The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, among other things, regulates and provides services related to the importation, interstate movement, and exportation of animals, animal products, and other articles to prevent the spread of pests and diseases of livestock. APHIS’ Veterinary Services’ (VS’) Field Operations is the program unit that carries out these activities at the field level through service centers and the air and seaports to protect animal health. After performing a service for an individual or business at one of the above locations, the VS Field Operations Service Centers conduct a survey to evaluate customer service. The survey consists of a short questionnaire in which respondents are asked to identify the type of customer they are (e.g., pet owner, animal importer/ exporter, animal product and byproduct importer/exporter, user of quarantine facilities, or accredited veterinarian), and to rate the services received in terms of courtesy, timeliness, helpfulness, etc. Respondents are also asked to rate and provide comments concerning their overall experience. Completion of the questionnaire is voluntary, and responses do not identify the individual respondent. Field Operations uses the survey to gain a general view of the public’s PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 perception of customer service at VS Service Centers and air and seaports, and identify areas in which VS can improve service delivery to the public and more efficiently meet the needs and expectations of customers. We are asking the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to approve our use of these information collection activities, as described, for an additional 3 years. The purpose of this notice is to solicit comments from the public (as well as affected agencies) concerning our information collection. These comments will help us: (1) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of our estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through use, as appropriate, of automated, electronic, mechanical, and other collection technologies; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Estimate of burden: The public burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.089 hours per response. Respondents: Members of the public who receive services from Veterinary Services (e.g., pet owners, animal importers/exporters, animal product and byproduct importers/exporters, users of quarantine facilities, and accredited veterinarians). Estimated annual number of respondents: 4,967. Estimated annual number of responses per respondent: 1. Estimated annual number of responses: 6,601. Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 587 hours. (Due to averaging, the total annual burden hours may not equal the product of the annual number of responses multiplied by the reporting burden per response.) All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.
