case of flood damage mitigation, obtain
information on flood damages incurred,
whether or not a project is being
considered or exists (Pub. L. 74–738).
The information to be gathered under
this collection also supports the
mandate from the Flood Control Act of
1936 (Pub. L. 74–734), which
established the criterion for Federal
action that ‘‘the benefits, to whomsoever
they may accrue are in excess of the
estimated costs.’’ The Engineer
Regulation (ER) 1105–2–100, Planning
Guidance Notebook (April, 2000)
defines benefits for the project under
consideration, with flood damages
avoided comprising the primary
category of benefits used in project
justification. Secondary benefits include
reductions in emergency costs,
unrecoverable and non-transferrable
income losses, clean-up and other costs
associated with flooding.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) provides flood risk
management structural and
nonstructural mitigation, planning and
tech services to communities, residents,
and businesses at risk of flooding. Flood
damage surveys are administered by
USACE and its contractors to determine
the impacts and potential impacts of
flooding and to determine how
communities, residents, and businesses
respond to flooding. The data are used
for estimating damage for factors such as
depth of flooding, construction types,
and different occupancies of use, which
influences project formulation and
budgeting. Damage estimation models
are then calculated and used to estimate
the cost of flooding and to evaluate the
benefits of alternative flood mitigation
plans, which are critical to determining
the feasibility of flood risk management
projects. Results of surveys will help
communities to better determine and
communicate their flood risks. The
models are also used for programmatic
evaluation of the Army Corps of
Engineers’ National Flood Risk
Management Program.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit; individuals or households; notfor-profit institutions; State, local, or
Tribal government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB
Number: Fast Track Generic Clearance
for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery—
the Interactive Customer Evaluation
System; OMB Control Number: 0704–

34221
Type of Request: Revision.
Number of Respondents: 500,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 500,000.
Average Burden per Response: 3
minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 25,000.
Needs and Uses: The proposed
information collection activity provides
a means to garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides 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 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, 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 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 in the near future.
• Personally identifiable information
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;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
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.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Frequency: As needed.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
