SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1320.8(d), title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) requires PHMSA to
provide interested members of the
public and affected agencies an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests.
This notice identifies information
collection requests that PHMSA
previously published on October 3,
2023,1 in a 60-day Federal Register
notice seeking comments and is now
submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for renewal and
extension. It should be noted that the
60-day Federal Register notice also
listed OMB Control Number 2137–0612
for ‘‘Hazardous Materials Security
Plans.’’ Since the publication of the 60day notice, PHMSA has submitted a
package to OMB for the renewal of
2137–0612 ‘‘Hazardous Materials
Security Plans’’ in association with the
HM–264A Final Rule titled ‘‘Hazardous
Materials: Suspension of HMR
Amendments Authorizing
Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas
by Rail’’ published on September 1,
2023 [88 FR 60356]. Therefore, PHMSA
no longer is listing this OMB control
number as a part of the current 30-day
notice as it is no longer needed.
The following information is provided
for the information collection titled

PHMSA will request a 3-year term of

upon OMB’s approval. PHMSA requests
comments on the following information
collection:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 2137–0640.
Summary: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner and in accordance with
the Department’s commitment to
improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback is information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, not statistical surveys that
yield quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insight into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
opinions, experiences and expectations,
as well as an early warning of issues
with service, or focus attention on areas
where communication, training or
changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between PHMSA and
its customers and stakeholders. It will
also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management. Feedback or information
collected under this generic clearance
will provide useful information, but it
will not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
The Department will 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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:41 Dec 15, 2023
Jkt 262001
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or 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.
• 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
Department (if released, the Department
must indicate the qualitative nature of
the information).
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. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Governments.

Burden:
Number of Respondents: 6,000.
