FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benjamin Thomsen, 202–254–7179, CISA.PRA@hq.dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 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. CISA is planning to submit this collection to OMB for approval. 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 CISA 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, PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45671 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 CISA’s services will be unavailable. CISA will only submit a collection for approval under this generic clearance if it meets the following conditions: 1. The collections are voluntary; 2. 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; 3. The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of concern to other Federal agencies; 4. 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; 5. Personally identifiable information is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained; 6. 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 CISA (if released, CISA must indicate the qualitative nature of the information); 7. Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions; and 8. 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 will provide useful information, but it will 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 E:\FR\FM\23MYN1.SGM 23MYN1 45672 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 101 / Thursday, May 23, 2024 / Notices 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 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 personal 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 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. CISA is planning to submit 
this collection to OMB for approval. 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 CISA 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 CISA's services will be unavailable. CISA will only 
submit a collection for approval under this generic clearance if it 
meets the following conditions:
    1. The collections are voluntary;
    2. 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;
    3. The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 
concern to other Federal agencies;
    4. 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;
    5. Personally identifiable information is collected only to the 
extent necessary and is not retained;
    6. 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 CISA (if released, CISA must 
indicate the qualitative nature of the information);
    7. Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of

    Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful 
information, but it will 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,

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 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 personal 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.
    This is an extension of an existing information collection that was 
initially approved by OMB on 10/05/2014. The evaluation form's most
