Executive
Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to
provide service to the public that
matches or exceeds the best service
available in the private sector. In order
to work continuously to ensure that our
programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) (hereafter ‘‘the Agency’’) seeks
to obtain OMB approval of a generic
clearance to collect qualitative feedback
on our service delivery. By qualitative
feedback, we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions but not statistical surveys
that yield quantitative results that can
be generalized to the population of
study.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Federal Emergency Management
Agency
AGENCY:
The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public to take this
opportunity to comment on an
extension, without change, of a
currently approved information
collection. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice seeks comments concerning the
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery.

Collection of Information
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension, without change, of a
currently approved information
collection.
OMB Number: 1660–0130.
FEMA Forms: None.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. 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. 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.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,075,000.
Estimated Number of Responses:
1,075,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 268,783.

Comments
Comments may be submitted as
indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a)
evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the Agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) 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
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
Standards (CFATS) Program identified
and regulated the security of high-risk
chemical facilities using a risk-based
approach. Pursuant to section 5 of the
Protecting and Securing Chemical
Facilities from Terrorist Attacks Act of
2014 (Pub. L. 113–254, as amended by
Pub. L. 116–150; 6 U.S.C. 621 note),
authorization had been granted for
CFATS until July 27, 2023. Congress did
not act to reauthorize the program in
time and, as such, the authorization
expired on July 28, 2023. Therefore,
regulations written pursuant to CFATS
authority are not currently active. While
regulatory text for the CFATS
regulation, including information
protection requirements, is located in
part 27 of title 6 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), the text is inactive
due to the lapse in authority.
CISA continues to possess and
safeguard the information provided to
CISA under the CFATS program prior to
the program’s lapse in authority on July
28, 2023. CISA also continues to receive
requests for these government records
and has continued to treat any
information previously designated as
CVI prior to the July 28, 2023 lapse
consistent with the previously
established CVI information handling
protection regime. As a result, prior to
granting access to information
safeguarded as CVI, CISA verifies that
the requestor is a CVI Authorized User.
If that requestor has a need to know but
is not a CVI Authorized User, CISA will
provide the requestor with CVI training.
The requestor then submits an
application to become a CVI Authorized
User.
CISA is authorized to safeguard
information provided to CISA under
CFATS prior to July 28, 2023 under 6
U.S.C. 652(e)(1)(J), which grants CISA
the authority to safeguard information
from unauthorized disclosure and to
ensure that the information is handled
and used only for the performance of
official duties.5
It is the Administration’s position that
CFATS should be reauthorized.
However, even without statutory
reauthorization, there is both a reason to
5 6 U.S.C. 652(e)(1)(J): (J) To ensure that any
material received pursuant to this chapter is
protected from unauthorized disclosure and
handled and used only for the performance of
official duties.
