audit to which a newly-acquired QPAM
submits may require the auditor to look
back into the previous year for that
particular QPAM. This will be the case
where the interval between the
acquisition date and the beginning of
the next audit period is greater than 6
months.
Exemption dates: If granted, the

of five years beginning on May 17, 2023,

The
Department is required by the Middle
Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of
2012 to designate eXtensible Markup
Language (XML) as a data exchange
standard. The data exchange standards
help improve the interoperability of
these systems that collect and exchange
information for Unemployment
Insurance program (UI) administrative
purposes. To improve UI program
operations by states, the Department has
been the facilitating entity for
development and implementation of
automated systems that states may
adopt for efficiently processing claims
and improving program integrity. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2022 (87 FR 60710).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.

ACTION:
The Merit Systems Protection
Board (MSPB), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, is seeking a threeyear renewal, without change, from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), of a currently approved
Information Collection Request (ICR)
entitled: ‘‘Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery’’ and identified
by OMB Control No. 3124–0015, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA). This collection was
developed as part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process for seeking feedback from
the public on service delivery. MSPB is
soliciting comments on this renewal,
without change, of a previously
approved collection set to expire on
May 31, 2023. The purpose of this
notice is to allow 60 days for public
comment preceding submission of the
collection to the OMB.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received by May 30, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments by using
only one of the following methods:
(1) Email. Submit comments to
privacy@mspb.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSPB
intends to seek a three-year renewal,
without change, of a currently approved
information collection ‘‘Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery,’’ OMB Control No. 3124–0015.
The proposed information collection
activity provides a means to obtain
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with MSPB’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. Qualitative feedback is
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions
but are not statistical surveys 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
MSPB 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 MSPB’s services will be
unavailable.
The MSPB 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
