SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Number: 1559-0041.
Type of Review: Extension without change.
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. Qualitative 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
[[Page 22284]]
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 non-response
bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior 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: Businesses and other organizations.
Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: 10.
Average Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Average Minutes per Response: 60.
Total Burden Hours: 10,000.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
