SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12862 directs Federal
agencies to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the
best service available in the private sector. Section 1(b) of Executive
Order 12862 requires government agencies to ``survey customers to
determine the kind and quality of services they want.'' In addition,
the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (``Evidence
Act'') enables agencies to collect and analyze data to use as evidence
in policymaking, as well as assess the effectiveness and efficiency of
current programs. To work continuously to ensure that our programs are
effective and meet our customers' needs, FEMA seeks to obtain the
Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval of a generic clearance
to collect information through mixed methods (quantitative and
qualitative) to improve marketing, outreach, and other promotional
activities of services, programs, and opportunities offered by FEMA.
