Collection Request (Generic ICR): ``Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery'' to OMB
for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
DATES: The purpose of this notice is to allow 30 days for public
comment until January 17, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

Overview of This Collection
Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
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. By qualitative feedback we mean information that
provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not
statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study. 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 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.
Following is the Department of Justice's projected average
estimates for the next three years:
Current Action: Extension.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: 42.
Average Number of Respondents per Activity: 51,500.
Annual Responses: 309,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per request.
Average Minutes per Response: 30 min.
Burden Hours: 99,847.
Federal Government Cost: $176,925.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.
