DEPARTMENT OF STATE
[Public Notice: 12182]
30-Day Notice of Proposed Information
Collection: Improving Customer

Section 280 Implementation)
Notice of request for public
comment and submission to OMB of
proposed collection of information.
ACTION:
The Department of State has
submitted the information collection
described below to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for

search function.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
A. Purpose
Under the PRA, (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520) Federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, the
Department of State is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
Whether seeking a loan, Social
Security benefits, veteran’s benefits, or
other services provided by the Federal
Government, individuals and businesses
expect Government customer services to
be efficient and intuitive, just like
services from leading private-sector
PO 00000
Frm 00132
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
organizations. Yet the 2016 American
Consumer Satisfaction Index and the
2017 Forrester Federal Customer
Experience Index show that, on average,
Government services lag nine
percentage points behind the private
sector.
A modern, streamlined and
responsive customer experience means:
raising government-wide customer
experience to the average of the private
sector service industry; developing
indicators for high-impact Federal
programs to monitor progress towards
excellent customer experience and
mature digital services; and providing
the structure (including increasing
transparency) and resources to ensure
customer experience is a focal point for
agency leadership. To support this,
OMB Circular A–11 Section 280
established government-wide standards
for mature customer experience
organizations in government and
measurement. To enable Federal
programs to deliver the experience
taxpayers deserve, they must undertake
three general categories of activities:
conduct ongoing customer research,
gather and share customer feedback, and
test services and digital products.
These data collection efforts may be
either qualitative or quantitative in
nature or may consist of mixed
methods. Additionally, data may be
collected via a variety of means,
including but not limited to electronic
or social media, direct or indirect
observation (i.e., in person, video and
audio collections), interviews,
questionnaires, surveys, and focus
groups. The Department of State will
limit its inquiries to data collections
that solicit strictly voluntary opinions or
responses. Steps will be taken to ensure
anonymity of respondents in each
activity covered by this request.
The results of the data collected will
be used to improve the delivery of
Federal services and programs. It will
include the creation of personas,
customer journey maps, and reports and
summaries of customer feedback data
and user insights. It will also provide
government-wide data on customer
experience that can be displayed on
performance.gov to help build
transparency and accountability of
Federal programs to the customers they
serve.
Method of Collection
The Department of State will collect
this information by electronic means
when possible, as well as by mail, fax,
telephone, technical discussions, and
in-person interviews. The Department of
State may also utilize observational
techniques to collect this information.
