Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled ``Generic Clearance for the Collection of 
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery'' to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously 
published a ``Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations'' notice on September 3, 2024 to obtain comments from 
the public and affected agencies. CDC did not receive comments related 
to the previous notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 
days for public and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) 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, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to <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. Direct 
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in 
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management 
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice 
publication.

Proposed Project

    Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 
Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 0920-1050, Exp. 6/30/2025)--
Revision--Office of Science (OS), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide service 
to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the 
private sector. In order to work continuously to ensure that our 
programs are effective and meet our customers' needs, Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a 
Generic Clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service 
delivery. The information collection activities approved under this 
Generic Clearance mechanism 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.
    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: (1) the target 
population to which generalizations will be made; (2) the sampling 
frame; (3) the sample design (including stratification and clustering); 
(4) the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the 
proposed sample size; (5) the expected response rate; (6) methods for 
assessing potential non-response bias; (7) the protocols for data 
collection; and (8) any testing procedures that were or will be 
undertaken prior fielding the study.

[[Page 24628]]

Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, 
such collections may still be eligible for submission under other 
Generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
    The qualitative feedback collected using this Generic has been a 
vital source of information that has helped the CDC improve the 
services and resources provided to the public. CDC is requesting OMB 
approval for an additional three years to continue this important 
effort.
    The estimated annualized burden hours are 29,250.
