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

Frm 00208
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

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.

Abstract: The Compliance Assurance
Process (CAP) is strictly a voluntary

that meet the selection criteria. CAP is
a real-time review of completed

related to completed business
transactions to the review team.
Current Actions: There are two new
forms being added to the Information
Collection Request. Form 14234–E,
Compliance Assurance Process (CAP)
Cross Border Activities Questionnaire
(CBAQ), is used by the IRS for risk
assessment purposes to review a
taxpayer’s material cross border
activities transactions (other than
transfer pricing) in the CAP year. Form
14234–F Post-Filing Representation by
Taxpayer requires that the corporate
officer, authorized to sign the tax return
of the CAP taxpayer, attest that all
material issues from the pre-filing
review have been disclosed and
resolved, and all resolved issues are
reported as agreed on the company’s tax
return.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Research and Development Service
(RR&D) Scientific Merit Review Board
(hereinafter, ‘‘the Board’’) will be held
on Wednesday, August 21, 2024, via
Webex from 1–1:30 p.m. EST. The
meeting will be partially closed to the
public, with an open portion from 1–
1:10. The closed portion, from 1:10–1:30
p.m., will be used for discussion,
examination of and reference to the
research applications and scientific
review. Discussions will involve
reference to staff and consultant
critiques of research proposals.
Discussions will also cover the scientific
merit of each proposal and the
qualifications of personnel conducting
the studies, the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
Additionally, premature disclosure of
research information could significantly
obstruct implementation of proposed
agency action regarding the research
proposals. As provided by Public Law
92–463 subsection 10(d), and amended
by Public Law 94–409, closing the
committee meeting is in accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
The objective of the Board is to
provide for the fair and equitable
selection of the most meritorious
research projects for support by VA
research funds and to offer advice for
research program officials on program
priorities and policies. The ultimate
objective of the Board is to ensure that
the VA RR&D program promotes
functional independence and improves
the quality of life for impaired and
disabled Veterans.
Board members will advise the
Deputy Chief Research and
Development Officer for Investigators,
Scientific Review and Management
(ISRM) and the Chief Research and
Development Officer on the scientific
and technical merit, mission relevance
and protection of human and animal
subjects of the proposals submitted to
RR&D. The Board does not consider
grants, contracts or other forms of
extramural research.
Members of the public may attend the
open portion of the meeting via WebEx,
from 1–1:10 p.m., in listen-only mode,
as the time-limited open agenda does
not allow for public comment
presentations. To attend the open
portion of the meeting, the public may
dial the Webex phone number (1–833–
558–0712), then enter the meeting
access code (2827 156 5012).
