Comment
Written comments and suggestions from the public and affected
agencies concerning the proposed collection of information should
address one or more of the following four points:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who
[[Page 35536]]
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
submissions of responses.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Agency: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
2. Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
3. OMB Number: 1653-0050.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Primary: Individuals or Households; Farms;
Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; State, local
or Tribal governments; The information collection garners qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient and timely manner, in
accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving delivery
service. 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 provides insights into customers or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provides an
early warning of issues with service, or focuses attention on areas
where communication, training or changes in operations might improve
delivery of products or services. These collections allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its
customers and stakeholders. It also allows feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected
under this generic clearance provides 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: 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.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 2792 responses at
15 minutes per response.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 698 annual burden hours.
