SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–153, Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Commission Service
Delivery.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0293.
Type of Request: Generic information
collection.
Abstract: This information collection
provides a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback, we
mean data that provides useful insights
on perceptions and opinions but are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative
results that can be generalized to the
population of study. The feedback
provides insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences,
and expectations. The feedback
provides an early warning of service
issues and helps focus attention on
areas where communication, training, or
changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. This
collection allows for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 71 / Thursday, April 13, 2023 / Notices
communications between FERC and its
customers and stakeholders. It also
allows feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
topics 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 the Commission’s
services will be unavailable.
The Commission 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;
• The collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program soon;
• Personal 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.
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.
As a general matter, this information
collection 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.
Type of Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and households; Businesses
or other for-profit and not-for-profit
organizations; State, Local, or Tribal
government.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 1 The
Commission estimates the annual public
reporting burden for the information
collection as:

Comments: Comments are invited on:
(1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden and cost of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
