Title: Generic Clearance for Improving Customer Experience (OMB Circular A–11, Section 280 Implementation). 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 PO 00000 Frm 00208 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 52217 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. E:\FR\FM\21JNN1.SGM 21JNN1
