SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSA published a Federal Register notice,
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments, of the following
collection of information on September 29, 2021 (86 FR 53982).
Comments Invited
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB control number. The ICR documentation will be
available at <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov">http://www.reginfo.gov</a> upon its submission to OMB.
Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following
information collection, TSA is soliciting comments to--
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology.
Information Collection Requirement
Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
Type of Request: Extension.
OMB Control Number: 1652-0058.
Form(s): NA.
Affected Public: Individuals, Households, Businesses,
Organizations, and State, Local or Tribal Governments.
Abstract: The information collection activity provides a means to
gather qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to
improving service delivery.
From TSA's perspective, qualitative feedback from customers and
stakeholders is information that provides useful insights on their
perceptions, experiences, opinions, and expectations regarding TSA
products or services, provides TSA with an early warning of issues with
service, and focuses attention on areas where changes regarding
communication, training, or operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable communications between TSA and its
customers and stakeholders. They will also allow feedback to contribute
[[Page 16762]]
directly to the improvement of program management. 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 by TSA. If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and stakeholders on TSA's services will be
unavailable.
As a general matter, information collections will not result in any
new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask
questions of a sensitive nature. Information gathered is intended to be
used solely within TSA general service improvement and program
management purposes and is not intended for release outside of TSA (if
released, TSA will indicate the qualitative nature of the information).
Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
qualitative information, but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population. Qualitative information is not
designed or expected to yield statistically reliable or actionable
results; it will not be used for quantitative information collections.
Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have,
there may be future information collection submissions for other
generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
Below we provide TSA's projected average estimates for the next
three years:
Number of Annual Respondents: 7,094,500.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1,180,050 hours.
Dated: March 21, 2022.
Christina A. Walsh,
TSA Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Information Technology.
