OMB Number: 0518-0040.
Expiration Date: N/A.
Type of Request: Approval for renewed data collection.
Abstract: This is a request, made by NAL Office of the Director
Office of the Associate Director of Information Services, that the OMB
approve, under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, a 3-year generic
clearance for the NAL to conduct user satisfaction research around its
internet sites. This effort is made according to Executive Order 12862,
which directs federal agencies that provide significant services
directly to the public to survey customers to determine the kind and
quality of services they want and their level of satisfaction with
existing services.
The NAL internet sites are a vast collection of web pages. NAL web
pages are visited by an average of 8.6 million people per month. All
NAL Information Centers have an established web presence that provides
information to their respective audiences.
Description of Surveys: The online surveys will be no more than 15
Semantic Differential Scale or multiple-choice questions, and no more
than 4 open-ended response questions.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 8 minutes per survey.
Respondents: The agricultural community, USDA personnel and their
cooperators, and public and private users or providers of agricultural
information.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1000 per year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 8 hours.
Comments: The purpose of the research is to ensure that intended
audiences find the information provided on the internet sites easy to
access, clear, informative, and useful. Specifically, the research will
examine whether the information is presented in an appropriate
technological format and whether it meets the needs of users of these
internet sites. The research will also provide a means by which to
classify visitors to the NAL internet sites to better understand how to
serve them. It is estimated that participants will require no more than
5 minutes to complete each survey. Actual time required will vary based
on participant reading rate.
