SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Contents
This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated
with the following information collections. More detailed information
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated
materials (see ADDRESSES).
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.
Information Collections
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement with
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information
Collection: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery; Use: This collection of
information is necessary to enable the Agency to garner customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with
our commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected
from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with the Agency's
programs. 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
[[Page 35217]]
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. Collecting voluntary
customer feedback is the least burdensome, most effective way for the
Agency to determine whether or not its public websites are useful to
and used by its customers. Generic clearance is needed to ensure that
the Agency can continuously improve its websites through regular
surveys developed from these pre-defined questions. Surveying the
Agency websites on a regular, ongoing basis will help ensure that users
have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience on any of the
websites, maximizing the impact of the information and resulting in
optimum benefit for the public. The surveys will ensure that this
communication channel meets customer and partner priorities, builds the
Agency's brands, and contributes to the Agency's health and human
services impact goals. Form Number: CMS-10415 (OMB control number 0938-
1185); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals and
Households; Number of Respondents: 2,000,000; Number of Responses:
2,000,000; Total Annual Hours: 60,000. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Aaron Lartey at 410-786-7866.)
