The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance

Comments regarding this information collection received by December
7, 2023 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<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.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to
respond to the collection of information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
National Appeals Division
Title: National Appeals Division Customer Service Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0503-0007.
Summary of Collection: The Secretary of Agriculture established the
National Appeals Division (NAD) on October 20, 1994, by Secretary's
Memorandum 1010-1, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and
Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-354,
section 271, dated October 13, 1994). The Act consolidated the
appellate functions and staffs of several USDA agencies. The intent is
to provide for independent hearing and review determinations that
resulted from Agency adverse decisions. Administrative Judges conduct
evidentiary hearing on adverse decisions or, when the appellant
requests they review the Agency's record of the adverse decision
without a hearing. NAD maintains a database to track appeal requests,
the database contains only information necessary to process the appeal
request, such as the name, address, filing data, and final results of
the appeal. NAD will collect information using a survey.
Need and Use of the Information: NAD wants to gather current data
to measure the appellant's perception of the quality of how easy the
determination was to read; how intently the Administrative Judge
listened to the appellant; and how courteous the Administrative Judge
was during the appeal process. NAD will also use the information
gathered from its surveys to tailor and prioritize training. Failure to
collect this information will not impede NAD's ability to conduct
administrative appeals; however, it will impair NAD's ability to
develop and improve Customer Service Standards.
Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
Number of Responsdents: 2,400.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually.
Total Burden Hours: 329.

Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
