The USPTO estimates that 99% of the
petitions in this information collection
are submitted electronically, by
facsimile, or hand carried because of the
quick turnaround required, and only 1%
of the 7,524 petitions will be submitted
in the mail. The USPTO estimates that
the average postage cost for a mailed
submission, using a Priority Mail 2-day
flat rate legal envelope, will be $9.25
and that approximately 75 submissions
will be mailed to the USPTO per year.
Therefore, the USPTO estimates that
postage costs in this collection will be
$694.

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(‘‘PRA’’), Federal agencies are required
to publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed or renewal of
a collection of information and to allow

Commission is soliciting comments for
the renewal of its generic information
collection that will help the CFTC
satisfy responsibilities under the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’),
found in Section 748 of the Dodd-Frank
Act. The generic information collection
will provide the OCEO a means to
gather qualitative consumer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner to facilitate service
delivery.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for each collection
of information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of Information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3
and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A), requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the CFTC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information listed below. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

Title: Generic Clearance for Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB Control No.
3038–0107). This is a request for an
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: In accordance with section
748 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the OCEO
anticipates undertaking a variety of
service delivery focused activities over
the next few years that include
consumer outreach and informationsharing with stakeholders which are
responsive to stakeholders’ needs and
sensitive to changes in the market. The
proposed information collection activity
will use similar methods for information
collection or otherwise share common
elements, and provide a means to gather
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner.
By qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
information on perceptions and
opinions. The solicitation of
information on delivery of consumer
services will address such areas as
appropriate messages, effective message
delivery methods, effective event
outreach tactics and characteristics, new
outreach program ideas and content,
and current consumer beliefs,
psychographics and social norms that
will assist the agency in developing
outreach and communications
campaigns. Since these systems will use
similar methods for information
collection or otherwise share common
elements, the OCEO is proposing a
generic clearance for this process, which
will allow the OCEO to implement these
systems and meet the obligations of the
PRA without the delays of the normal
clearance process. Collection methods
may include focus groups and surveys
as well as other relevant collection
methods that meet the conditions
appropriate for a generic clearance as
outlined below. The OCEO 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
respondent, 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
Commission (if released, the
Commission 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.
With respect to the collection of
information, the Commission invites
comments on:
• Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have a practical use;
• The accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Ways to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burdens of
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
You should submit only information
that you wish to make available
publicly. If you wish the Commission to
consider information that you believe is
exempt from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, a petition
for confidential treatment of the exempt
information may be submitted according
to the procedures established in § 145.9
of the Commission’s regulations.1
The Commission reserves the right,
but shall have no obligation, to review,
pre-screen, filter, redact, refuse or
remove any or all of your submission
from https://www.cftc.gov that it may
deem to be inappropriate for
publication, such as obscene language.
All submissions that have been redacted
or removed that contain comments on
the merits of the Information Collection
Request will be retained in the public
comment file and will be considered as
