khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
2,233.
Background
Executive Order 12862, ‘‘Setting
Customer Service Standards,’’ directs
Federal agencies to provide service to
the public that matches or exceeds the
best service available in the private
sector (58 FR 48257, Sept. 11, 1993). To
work continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, FMCSA seeks to
extend OMB approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback
from our customers on our service
delivery. The surveys covered in this
generic clearance provide a way for
FMCSA to collect this data directly from
our customers.
The proposed future 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. 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. The information
collected from our customers and
stakeholders will help ensure that users
have an effective, efficient, and
satisfying experience with FMCSA’s
programs.
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 the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• 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;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
• 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;
• Personally identifiable information
is collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the Agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• 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 provides useful information,
but it does 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.
As a general matter, information
collections under this control number
will not result in any new system of
records containing privacy 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.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
PO 00000
Frm 00152
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the performance of
FMCSA’s functions; (2) the accuracy of
the estimated burden; (3) ways for
FMCSA to enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the collected
information; and (4) ways that the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information.
Issued under the authority of 49 CFR
1.87.
