DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Reinstatement
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and
reinstatement under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law
104-13. Comments are requested 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
and other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by August
23, 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.

Title: USDA Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 0503-0021.
Summary of Collection: 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: Individuals and Households, Businesses
and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 30,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 16,750.
