SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E.O. 12862 directs Federal Agencies to
provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service
available. Section 1(b) of E.O. 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.
This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on May 5, 2023, at 88 FR 29143 with a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were received. The purpose of this notice
is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information
collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for
review and clearance.
