Background Under the PRA and its implementing regulations (5 CFR part 1320), Federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor (e.g., contractually-required information collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection of information,’’ within the meaning of the PRA, includes agency requests that pose identical questions to, or impose reporting or recording keeping obligations on, ten or more persons, regardless of whether response to such request is mandatory or voluntary. See 5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 3502(3). In February 2024, the Access Board published a 60-day notice concerning the proposed renewal of its existing generic clearance for the collection of qualitative feedback, which expires on May 31, 2024. (OMB Control No. 3014–0011) 89 FR 8401 (Feb. 7, 2024). We received no comments in response to this 60-day notice. II. Overview of Requested Generic Clearance Renewal The Access Board is providing notice that it has requested OMB renewal of our existing generic clearance for the collection of qualitative feedback with regard to agency program and services. OMB approval is requested for three years. To date, we have found the feedback garnered through qualitative customer satisfaction surveys (and similar information collections) to be beneficial, by providing useful insights in experiences, perceptions, opinions, and expectations regarding Access Board services or focusing attention on areas in need of improvement. We are seeking approval to continue our current efforts to solicit qualitative feedback from customers across our agency programs and services. Online surveys will be used unless the customer contacts the agency by phone for technical assistance or an individual otherwise expresses a preference for another survey format (i.e., fillable form in portable document format or paper survey). In addition, paper surveys may be used to garner feedback from participants at in-person trainings or similar events. Provided below is an overview of the existing generic clearance for which the Access Board seeks renewal. OMB Control Number: 3014–0011. Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Type of Request: Extension without change. Abstract: The proposed information collection activity facilitates collection of qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Federal Government’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean information collections that provide useful insights on perceptions and opinions but are 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, 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 services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications between the Access Board and its customers and stakeholders. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households; businesses and organizations; State, local or Tribal government. Burden Estimates: In the table below (table 1), the Access Board provides estimates for the annual reporting burden under this proposed information collection. The Access Board does not anticipate incurring any capital or other direct costs associated with this information collection. Nor will there be any costs to respondents, other than their time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract The SABIT Program of the Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA), is a key element in the U.S. Government’s efforts to support the economic transition of Eurasia (the former Soviet Union) and to support economic growth in other regions of the world, including countries in Europe, South Asia, and the PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Middle East, et al. SABIT develops and implements two-week training programs in the United States for groups of up to 20 business and government professionals from Eurasia and other regions. These professionals meet with U.S. government agencies, nongovernmental organizations and private sector companies in order to learn about various business practices and principles. This unique private sectorU.S. Government partnership was created in order to tap into the U.S. private sector’s expertise and to assist developing regions in their transition to market-based economies while simultaneously boosting trade between the United States and other countries. SABIT also develops and implements virtual events for its alumni and other participants that provide industryspecific training on best practices for business and management and fosters contacts with U.S. organizations. Participant applications are needed to enable SABIT to find the most qualified participants for the training programs. Participant pre-program surveys and post- program surveys provide insight as to what the participants have learned, and they are used to improve the content and administration of future programs. Such monitoring and evaluations is required by law (Foreign Aid and Transparency and Accountability Act of 2016). Alumni success story reports/surveys track the success of the program as regards to business ties between the U.S. and the countries SABIT covers. These alumni surveys also serve to provide evaluation information as required under the Foreign Aid and Transparency and Accountability Act of 2016). The closing date for participant applications is based upon the starting date of the program and is published with the application and on the program’s website at www.trade.gov/ sabit-program. Pursuant to section 632(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, funding for the programs will be provided through the Agency for International Development (AID). The SABIT Program has revised the collection instruments. The instruments are very similar to those used by SABIT in past years. However, some wording has been changed to reflect the changing needs of SABIT over time. The changes are relatively minor and most of them are rephrasing of wording. Instructions for filling out the form, methods of submission, and the order of questions have been revised on the Participant Application. These revisions are not expected to increase the response time to complete the instruments. SABIT E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM 16APN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under the PRA and its implementing regulations (5 CFR part 1320), 
Federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor (e.g., contractually-required 
information collection by a third-party). ``Collection of 
information,'' within the meaning of the PRA, includes agency requests 
that pose identical questions to, or impose reporting or recording 
keeping obligations on, ten or more persons, regardless of whether 
response to such request is mandatory or voluntary. See 5 CFR 
1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 3502(3). In February 2024, the Access 
Board published a 60-day notice concerning the proposed renewal of its 
existing generic clearance for the collection of qualitative feedback, 
which expires on May 31, 2024. (OMB Control No. 3014-0011) 89 FR 8401 
(Feb. 7, 2024). We received no comments in response to this 60-day 
notice.

II. Overview of Requested Generic Clearance Renewal

    The Access Board is providing notice that it has requested OMB 
renewal of our existing generic clearance for the collection of 
qualitative feedback with regard to agency program and services. OMB 
approval is requested for three years. To date, we have found the 
feedback garnered through qualitative customer satisfaction surveys 
(and similar information collections) to be beneficial, by providing 
useful insights in experiences, perceptions, opinions, and expectations 
regarding Access Board services or focusing attention on areas in need 
of improvement. We are seeking approval to continue our current efforts 
to solicit qualitative feedback from customers across our agency 
programs and services. Online surveys will be used unless the customer 
contacts the agency by phone for technical assistance or an individual 
otherwise expresses a preference for another survey format (i.e., 
fillable form in portable document format or paper survey). In 
addition, paper surveys may be used to garner feedback from 
participants at in-person trainings or similar events. Provided below 
is an overview of the existing generic clearance for which the Access 
Board seeks renewal.

    Abstract: The proposed information collection activity facilitates 
collection of qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an 
efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Federal Government's

quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of 
study. This feedback will provide insight 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 services. 
These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable

stakeholders.
