Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 28, 2024 / Notices
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on June 6,
2024 (89 FR 48440). No comments were
received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: The Office of Management
and Budget regulation at 5 CFR 1320,
which implements the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), requires that
interested members of the public and
affected agencies have an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)]. The Office of Employee

Development, Federal Consulting Group
has submitted a request to Office of
Management and Budget to renew its
approval of this collection of
information for three years.
This information collection activity
provides a means to consistently assess,
benchmark, and improve customer
satisfaction with Federal government
agency websites within the Executive
Branch. The Federal Consulting Group
of the Department of the Interior serves
as the executive agent for this
assessment to federal agencies.
The Website Satisfaction Surveys will
be completed subject to the Privacy Act
of 1974, Public Law 93–579, December
31, 1974 (5 U.S.C. 522a). The agency
information collection will be used
solely for the purpose of the survey. The
contractor will not be authorized to
release any agency information upon
completion of the survey without first
obtaining permission from the Federal
Consulting Group and the participating
agency. In no case shall any new system
of records containing privacy
information be developed by the Federal
Consulting Group, participating
agencies, or the contractor collecting the
data. In addition, participating Federal
agencies may only provide information
used to randomly selected respondents
from among established systems of
records provided for such routine uses.
There is no other agency or
organization able to provide the
information accessible through the
surveying approach used in this
information collection. Further, the
information will enable Federal
agencies to determine customer
satisfaction metrics with discrimination
capability across variables. Thus, this
information collection will assist
Federal agencies in making the best use
of resources in a targeted manner to
improve service to the public.
This survey asks no questions of a
sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
or other matters that are commonly
considered private.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it is operating under a currently
valid Office of Management and Budget
control number. The Office of
Management and Budget control
number for this collection is 1090–0008.
The control number will be displayed
on the surveys used. For expeditious
administration of the surveys, the
expiration date will not be displayed on
the individual instruments. Response to
the surveys is voluntary.
Title of Collection: Website
Satisfaction Surveys.

Respondents/Affected Public:

or Tribal Governments who have

Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Participation by Federal
agencies will vary as new websites are
added or deleted. However, based on
our experience from the previous threeyear approval period, the number of
surveys has been very consistent with
little change and estimate for the next
three years are as follows:
Average Expected Annual Number of
Customer Satisfaction Surveys: 250 with
5,000 respondents per survey.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,250,000 Responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 60,764 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Once per
survey.
Total Estimated Annual Non hour

An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
