    Title: CFM Stakeholder Feedback Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-XXXX.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Abstract: The Office of Construction & Facilities Management (CFM) 
Stakeholder Feedback Survey collects information for all of CFM's lines 
of business: major construction, major leases, facility condition 
assessments, and engineering studies. Respondents are members of 
project teams, and the information is related to how well the teams are 
performing. The purpose of the Stakeholder Feedback Survey Program is 
to improve project team performance across the four lines of business 
covered by the survey.
    Respondents include federal employees in the Department of Veteran 
Affairs throughout CFM, Veterans Health Administration, and National 
Cemetery Administration, as well as U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 
construction management teams. The survey also collects information 
from members of private contractors associated with the projects 
described above (e.g., architecture/engineering, construction, 
developers/lessors). Respondents provide feedback on the performance of 
the technical sub-teams with whom they have worked on a particular 
project.
    The survey uses a set of ten questions to collect the information 
on team performance, plus two open-ended questions that address what is 
going well and concerns. The survey is delivered via email with a link 
to an online collection instrument. Advance notice and reminder emails 
are used to encourage participation.
    The survey is administered by a federal contracting team (Blue 
Water Thinking and Booz Allen Hamilton). Raw data is seen and handled 
only by members of this team. Summary results are provided to CFM via a 
dashboard designed as part of the contract to design and administer the 
survey.
    Affected Public: Members of private contracting firms associated 
with the projects described above (e.g., architecture/engineering, 
construction, developers/lessors) are asked to complete the survey.

    Estimated Annual Burden: 77 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 8 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: Team members of Major Construction and Major 
Leasing projects are asked to complete the survey twice a year for the 
duration of the project. Team members of all other types of projects 
are asked to complete the survey once a year.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 578.
