Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 57 / Friday, March 22, 2024 / Notices
that are necessary for the equipment
installation and relocation, EPA will
review each proposal to ensure that
such modifications are within the scope
of the CE and would not appreciably
increase the footprint or height of the
existing building or have the potential
to cause significant changes to the type
and magnitude of environmental
impacts.
III. Consideration of Extraordinary
Circumstances
When applying these CEs, EPA will
evaluate the proposed action to ensure
consideration of the integral elements
listed above. In addition, in considering
extraordinary circumstances, EPA will
consider whether the proposed action
has the potential to result in significant
effects as described in DOE’s
extraordinary circumstances listed at 10
CFR 1021.410(b)(2). DOE defines
extraordinary circumstances as unique
situations presented by specific
proposals, including, but not limited to,
scientific controversy about the
environmental effects of the proposal;
uncertain effects or effects involving
unique or unknown risks; and
unresolved conflicts concerning
alternative uses of available resources.
In addition, EPA will consider its list of
extraordinary circumstances as
described at 40 CFR 6.204(b).

IV. Consultation With DOE and
Determination of Appropriateness
EPA and DOE consulted on the
appropriateness of EPA’s adoption of
the CEs in December 2023. EPA and
DOE’s consultation included a review of
DOE’s experience developing and
applying the CEs, as well as the types
of actions for which EPA plans to utilize
the CEs. These EPA actions are very
similar to the type of projects for which
DOE has applied the CEs and therefore
the effects of EPA projects will be very
similar to the effects of DOE projects,
which are not significant, absent
extraordinary circumstances. Therefore,
EPA has determined that its proposed
use of the CE for the Drop-off,
Collection, and Transfer Facilities for
Recyclable Materials and the CE for
Installation or Relocation of Machinery
and Equipment as described in this
notice are appropriate.
V. Notice to the Public and
Documentation of Adoption
This notice serves to identify to the
public and document EPA’s adoption of
DOE’s CEs for B1.35 Drop-off,
Collection, and Transfer Facilities for
Recyclable Materials and for B1.31
Installation or Relocation of Machinery
and Equipment. This notice identifies

the types of actions to which EPA will
apply the CEs, as well as the
considerations that EPA will use in
determining whether an action is within
the scope of the CEs.

to EPA. Members of the public may
submit comments on matters being
considered by the EFAB for
consideration as the Board develops its
advice and recommendations to EPA.
Oral Statements: In general,
individuals or groups requesting an oral
presentation at a public meeting will be
limited to three minutes each. Persons

placed on the list of registered speakers.

made available to the EFAB for its

special requirements or
accommodations needed on the
registration form at least 10 business
days prior to the meeting to allow as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the government’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback, we
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703

mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations, provide
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 the Agency and its customers
and stakeholders. It will also allow
feedback to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, course materials, course
instructor, 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.
The Agency will only 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 the only way to
collect information; there are no
alternative existing sources;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
