DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are required regarding; whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
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.
Comments regarding this information collection received by May 3,
2024 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.
Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0151.
Summary of Collection: Food Safety and Inspection Service has been
delegated the authority to exercise the functions of the Secretary (7
CFR 2.18, 2.53) as specified in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA)
(21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.), and the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA)
(21 U.S.C. 1031, et seq.). FSIS protects the public by verifying that
meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, wholesome, not adulterated,
and correctly labeled and packaged. Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12862
Setting Customer Service Standards. 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.
Need and Use of the Information: 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.
Description of Respondents: Business-for-not for-profit; Farms;
State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 4,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting; Other (one-time).
Total Burden Hours: 2,000.
Rachelle Ragland-Greene,
Acting Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
