SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    Title: Improving Customer Experience (OMB Circular A-11, Section 
280 Implementation).
    Abstract: Under the Government Service Delivery Improvement (GSDI) 
Act \1\ and the 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act,\2\ 
along with OMB guidance, agencies are obligated to continually improve 
the services they provide the public and to collect qualitative and 
quantitative data from the public to do so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 5 U.S.C. 321-24.
    \2\ 44 U.S.C. 3501 note.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of this request is to facilitate the General Service 
Administration's (hereafter ``the Agency's'') ability to collect 
feedback from the public to continue to improve its services, thereby 
facilitating its compliance with statutory requirements and general 
principles of good governance. GSA will only submit collections if they 
meet the following criteria.
    <bullet> The collections are voluntary;
    <bullet> The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on 
considerations of total burden hours or burden-hours per respondent) 
and are low-cost for both the respondents and the Federal Government;
    <bullet> The collections are non-controversial;
    <bullet> Any collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions 
from respondents who have experience with the program or may have 
experience with the program in the near future;
    <bullet> Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected 
only to the extent necessary and is not retained;
    <bullet> Information gathered is intended to be used for general 
service improvement and program management purposes
    <bullet> The agency will follow the procedures specified in any 
relevant OMB guidance for the required reporting to OMB of data from 
surveys.
    <bullet> Outside of the reporting mentioned in the bullet 
immediately above, if the Agency intends to release journey maps, user 
personas, reports, or other data-related summaries stemming from this 
collection, the Agency must include appropriate caveats around those 
summaries, noting that conclusions should not be generalized beyond the 
sample, considering the sample size and response rates. The Agency must 
submit the data summary itself (e.g., the report) and the caveat 
language mentioned above to OMB before it releases them outside the 
Agency. OMB will engage in a pass back process with the agency.
    Type of Review: Renewal of an existing collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and 
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government.
