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 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 E:\FR\FM\22JNN1.SGM 22JNN1
