Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery'' to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and
Recommendations'' notice on February 6, 2023, to obtain comments from
the public and affected agencies. CDC received one comment related to
the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days
for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 0920-1027, Exp. 8/31/2023)--
Extension--National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
Prevention (NCHHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
CDC is requesting a three-year Extension for the Generic ICR titled
Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery. During the past three-year approval period, CDC has
submitted eight GenICs consisting of 750 responses. The collections
included web-based surveys, focus groups, and assessments. The
information collection activities conducted under this extension will
continue to 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 CDC 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 continue to
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:
(1) the target population to which generalizations will be made; (2)
the sampling frame; (3) the sample design (including stratification and
clustering); (4) the precision requirements or power calculations that
justify the proposed sample size; (5) the expected response rate; (6)
methods for assessing potential non-response bias; (7) the protocols
for data collection; and 8) 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.
Respondents will be screened and selected from Individuals and
Households, Businesses, Organizations, and/or State, Local or Tribal
Government. Below we provide CDC's projected annualized estimate for
the next three years. There is no cost to respondents other than their
time. The estimated annualized burden hours for this data collection
activity are 9,690.
