SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    A. Purpose: Under the Government Service Delivery Improvement

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 General Services Administration (hereafter ``the Agency'') has 
developed a survey collection tool (<a href="https://touchpoints.digital.gov/">https://touchpoints.digital.gov/</a>) 
that Federal agencies may use to collect this customer feedback. The 
purpose of this request is to facilitate federal agencies' ability to 
collect feedback from the public using this GSA Touchpoints survey 
tool, or any subsequent GSA survey tool that uses a different name. 
Collecting feedback from the public will allow agencies to continue to 
improve federal services, thereby facilitating compliance with 
statutory requirements and general principles of good governance.
    An agency using the Touchpoints survey tool 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, meaning they do not 
raise issues that warrant public comment;
    <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 the agency will comply with applicable 
legal and policy requirements to ensure its protection;
    <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 passback process with the agency.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and 
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government.
    B. Annual Reporting Burden: Below is an estimate of the aggregate 
burden hours for this collection.
    Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: Approximately 50 
customer feedback surveys.
    Average Number of Respondents per Activity: Range varies greatly 
depending on Federal Service.
    Annual Responses: Approximately 40,000,000.
    Average Minutes per Response: 3 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 2,000,000.
    C. Public Comments: A 30-day notice was published in the Federal 
Register at 90 FR on. No comments were received.
    Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the 
information collection documents from the GSA Regulatory Secretariat 
Division, by calling 202-501-4755 or emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#41061200132426122422012632206f262e37"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1f584c5e4d7a784c7a7c5f786c7e31787069">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Please
