DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments
regarding (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of burden including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by December 7, 2023
will be considered. Written comments
and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day
Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or
by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
National Appeals Division
Title: National Appeals Division
Customer Service Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0007.
Summary of Collection: The Secretary
of Agriculture established the National
Appeals Division (NAD) on October 20,
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1994, by Secretary’s Memorandum
1010–1, pursuant to the Federal Crop
Insurance Reform and Department of
Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994
(Pub. L. 103–354, section 271, dated
October 13, 1994). The Act consolidated
the appellate functions and staffs of
several USDA agencies. The intent is to
provide for independent hearing and
review determinations that resulted
from Agency adverse decisions.
Administrative Judges conduct
evidentiary hearing on adverse
decisions or, when the appellant
requests they review the Agency’s
record of the adverse decision without
a hearing. NAD maintains a database to
track appeal requests, the database
contains only information necessary to
process the appeal request, such as the
name, address, filing data, and final
results of the appeal. NAD will collect
information using a survey.
Need and Use of the Information:
NAD wants to gather current data to
measure the appellant’s perception of
the quality of how easy the
determination was to read; how intently
the Administrative Judge listened to the
appellant; and how courteous the
Administrative Judge was during the
appeal process. NAD will also use the
information gathered from its surveys to
tailor and prioritize training. Failure to
collect this information will not impede
NAD’s ability to conduct administrative
appeals; however, it will impair NAD’s
ability to develop and improve
Customer Service Standards.

Jkt 262001
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18 and 2.53), as
specified in the Federal Meat Inspection
Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the
Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and the Egg
Products Inspection Act (EPIA) (21
U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). These statutes
mandate that FSIS protect the public by
verifying that meat, poultry, and egg
products are safe, wholesome, and
properly labeled.
FSIS is requesting renewal of the
approved information collection
regarding the qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback on service delivery
by FSIS. There are no changes to the
existing information collection. The
approval for this information collection
will expire on March 31, 2024.
The proposed information collection
activity provides a means for FSIS to
garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Agency’s commitment to improving
service delivery.
By ‘‘qualitative feedback,’’ FSIS
means information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but not a statistical survey that yields
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population studied.
Qualitative feedback provides insights
into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences, and
expectations; provides an early warning
of issues with the Agency’s customer
service; and focuses attention on matters
with respect to which communication
or changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. This
collection will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
will also allow the feedback to
contribute directly to the improvement
of program management.
The solicitation of qualitative
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 Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
FSIS will only submit a collection for
approval under this generic clearance if
it meets the following conditions:
The collection is voluntary;
The collection is low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

respondent) and is low-cost for both the
respondents and the Federal
Government;
The collection is non-controversial
and does not raise issues of concern to
other Federal agencies;
The collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have had experience
with the program, or who 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; as a
general matter, this information
collection will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not involve
questions of a sensitive nature, such as
sexual behavior and attitudes, religious
beliefs, or other matters that are
commonly considered private;
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 FSIS (if released, FSIS will
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
Information gathered will not be used
for the purpose of substantially
informing policy decisions; and
Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collection
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
FSIS has made the following
estimates based upon an information
collection assessment:
Estimate of Burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average .5
hours per response.
Respondents: Individuals and
households; businesses and
organizations; State, local, or Tribal
government.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 4,000.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Annual Number of
Responses: 4,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on
Respondents: 2,000 hours.
