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 will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of MSPB;
• 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.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: the target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Number: 3124–0015.
Type of Information Collection:

displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Abstract of Proposed Collection: This
collection is part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process for seeking feedback from
the public on service delivery and
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. Responses
to any collection of information under
this ICR are voluntary.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; Businesses and

Comments: Comments should be
submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES
caption above. Comments are solicited
to: (a) evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of MSPB,
including whether the information shall
have practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of MSPB’s estimate of the
burden of the collection of information;

respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) evaluate the estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to

information collection instruments
consist of short customer-focused
surveys distributed through Qualtrics,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSPB
intends to request approval for a
reinstatement and revision of a
previously approved information
collection and seeks a three-year
renewal of its MSPB’s Generic Clearance
Request for Voluntary Customer
Surveys, OMB Control No. 3124–0012.
Executive Order 12862, Setting
Customer Service Standards, mandates
that agencies identify their customers
and survey them to determine the kind
and quality of services they want and
their level of satisfaction with existing
services. In addition, OMB Circular A–
11, Part 6, Section 280—Managing
Customer Experience and Improving
Service Delivery, provides guidelines
for gathering customer feedback. More
recently, the 21st Century Integrated
Digital Experience Act (IDEA) requires
agencies to use quantitative data from
their public-facing websites to improve
digital service delivery (Pub. L. 115–
336).
Customers and stakeholders include
persons who file appeals with MSPB on
agency action taken against them
(appellants), their representatives, and
representatives of the agency which
took the action; and Federal officials
and members of the public
(academicians, researchers, consultants,
and web users) who read and use the
findings of reports issued by MSPB’s
Office of Policy and Evaluation (OPE) or
who are interested in MSPB’s role in
overseeing the Office of Personnel
Management.
Over the past several years, OPE has
used customer satisfaction surveys to
evaluate how well MSPB is serving its
customers in terms of their perceptions
of agency timeliness, fairness,
accessibility, and sensitivity in deciding
appeals. OPE has also used customer
surveys to determine the usefulness of
reports issued. As a result of the survey
feedback, OPE has established baseline
performance measures for both appeals
processing and merit systems review
responsibilities. OPE has instituted a
number of changes to both these
processes as a result of feedback
obtained from stakeholders. OPE plans
to use customer surveys periodically
over the next three years to measure the
success of changes and to attempt to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

identify additional areas where
improvements can be made. Stakeholder
views are important measures which
may be used to report agency
performance under the Government
Results and Performance Act (GPRA) as
amended by the GPRA Modernization
Act of 2010.
