SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Fast Track Generic
Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery; OMB Control Number 0704-0553.
Type of Request: Revision.
Number of Respondents: 300,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 300,000.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 50,000.
Needs and Uses: The information collection activity provides a
means to garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an
efficient and 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, 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.
The solicitation of feedback will target areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of issues with service delivery.
Responses will be assessed to plan and inform efforts to improve or
maintain the quality of service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency's services will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the following conditions:
<bullet> The collections are voluntary;
<bullet> The collections are low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and are low-cost for both the respondents
and the Federal Government;
<bullet> The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise
issues of concern to other Federal agencies;
<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 is collected only to
the extent necessary and is not retained;
<bullet> Information gathered will be used only internally for
general service improvement and program management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the agency;
<bullet> Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
<bullet> Information gathered will yield qualitative information;
the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the
population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful
information, but it does 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 nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to 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.
As a general matter, information collections will not result in any
new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask
questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes,
religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered
private.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Businesses or other
for-profits; Not-for-profit institutions; Farms; Federal Government;
State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
DOD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.
