Abstract: The information collection activity will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, for the purpose of improving service delivery.

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. 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 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.

II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 
Agency Service Delivery.'' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents 
that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on February 28, 2024, 89 FR 
14725.
    1. The title of the information collection: Generic Clearance for 
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0217.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion, 
quarterly, and annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Individuals and 
households; businesses and organizations; State, Local, or Tribal 
governments.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 13,300.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 13,300.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 2,708.
    10. Abstract: The information collection activity will garner 
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely 
manner, for the purpose of improving service delivery. By qualitative 
feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on 
perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the 
improvement of program management. 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

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.
