OMB Control Number: 1505–0272.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Description: On September 11, 1993,
President Clinton issued Executive
Order 12862, ‘‘Setting Customer Service
Standards’’ which clearly define his
vision that the Federal agencies will put
the people first. Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide
service to the public that matches or
exceeds the best service available in the
private sector. Section 1(b) of Executive
Order 12862 requires government
agencies to ‘‘survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of
services they want and their level of
satisfaction with existing services’’ and
Section 1(e) requires agencies ‘‘survey

front-line employees on barriers to, and
ideas for, matching the best in
business.’’
On March 30, 2016, President Obama
established the Core Federal Services
Council, which again emphasized the
need to deliver world-class customer
service to the American people. The
Council, composed of the major highvolume, high-impact Federal programs
that provide transactional services
directly to the public, were encouraged
‘‘to improve the customer experience by
using public and private sector
management best practices, such as
conducting self-assessments and
journey mapping, collecting
transactional feedback data, and sharing
such data with frontline and other
staff.’’
In March 2018, the Administration of
President Trump launched the
President’s Management Agenda (PMA)
and established new Cross-Agency
Priority (CAP) Goals. Excellent service
was established as a core component of
the mission, service, stewardship model
that frames the entire PMA, embedding
a customer-focused approach in all of
the PMA’s initiatives. This model was
also included in the 2018 update of the
Federal Performance Framework in
Circular A–11, ensuring ‘excellent
service’ as a focus in future agency
strategic planning efforts. The PMA
included a CAP Goal on Improving
Customer Experience with Federal
Services, with a primary strategy to
drive improvements within 25 of the
nation’s highest impact programs. This
effort is supported by an interagency
team and guidance in Circular A–11
requiring the collection of customer
feedback data and increasing the use of
industry best practices to conduct
customer research.
These Presidential actions and
requirements establish an ongoing
process of collecting customer insights
and using them to improve services.
This new request will enable the
Department of Treasury to act in
accordance with OMB Circular A–11
Section 280 to ultimately transform the
experience of its customers to improve
both efficiency and mission delivery,
and increase accountability by
communicating about these efforts with
the public.
Form: None.
Affected Public: Businesses,
individuals and state or local
governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,001,550.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual
Responses: 2,001,550.
