SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),
Federal agencies must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of
information that they conduct or sponsor. The term ``collection of
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.
The OCC asks that OMB extend its approval of the collection in this
notice.
Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0248.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or individuals.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Burden Estimate:
Number of Respondents: 9,025.
Total Annual Burden: 3,850.
Abstract: This generic information collection request (ICR)
provides the OCC with a means to solicit qualitative user feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Federal
government's commitment to improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback is information that provides insights on perceptions and
opinions but does not include statistical survey or quantitative
results that can be attributed to the surveyed population. This
qualitative feedback provides insights into stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations; provides an early warning of issues with
service; and/or focuses attention on areas where communication,
training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products
or services. It also enables ongoing, collaborative, and actionable
communications between the OCC and its stakeholders, while also making
it possible for the OCC to use feedback to improve program management.
The OCC's solicitations for feedback target areas such as
timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy,
efficiency of service delivery, and resolution of issues related to
service delivery. The OCC uses the responses to inform efforts to
improve or maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If
the OCC does not collect this information, it will not have access to
vital feedback from stakeholders.
Under this generic ICR, the OCC will submit a specific information
collection for approval only if the collection meets the following
conditions:
<bullet> It is voluntary;
<bullet> It imposes a low burden on respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and a low cost on both respondents and the
Federal government;
[[Page 64546]]
<bullet> It is non-controversial and does not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
<bullet> It is targeted to solicit opinions from respondents who
have experience with the program or will have experience with the
program in the near future;
<bullet> It includes personally identifiable information (PII) only
to the extent necessary, and the OCC does not retain the PII; \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The OCC may retain PII only in limited circumstances and, if
it does so, the OCC must comply with applicable requirements,
restrictions, and prohibitions of the Privacy Act of 1974 and other
privacy and confidentiality laws that govern the collection,
retention, use, and/or disclosure of such PII.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<bullet> It gathers information intended to be used internally only
for general service improvement and program management purposes and is
not intended for release outside of the OCC;
<bullet> It does not gather information to be used for the purpose
of substantially informing influential policy decisions;
<bullet> It gathers information that will yield qualitative
information and will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used to reach general conclusions about the
surveyed population; and
<bullet> Feedback collected provides useful information but does
not yield data that can be attributed to the overall population.
If these conditions are not met, the OCC will submit an information
collection request to OMB for approval through the normal PRA process.
The OCC will not use this type of generic clearance for the
collection of qualitative feedback for any quantitative information
collection.
As a general matter, this generic information collection will not
result in any new system of records containing privacy information and
will not ask questions of a sensitive nature.
Comments: On July 12, 2022, the OCC published a 60-day notice for
this information collection, 87 FR 41384. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be solicited on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the
information collection;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection 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/or purchase of services expended to provide
information.
