SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
Customer/Partner Customer Service Satisfaction Surveys
OMB Control Number 0910-0360--Extension
Under section 1003 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21
U.S.C. 393), FDA is authorized to conduct research and public
information programs about regulated products and responsibilities of
the Agency. Executive Order 12862, entitled ``Setting Customer Service
Standard,'' directs Federal Agencies that ``provide significant
services directly to the public'' to ``survey customers to determine
the kind and quality of services they want and their level of
satisfaction with existing services.'' FDA is seeking to extend OMB
approval to conduct customer service satisfaction surveys to implement
Executive Order 12862. Participation in the surveys is voluntary. This
request covers customer/partner (including State and local governments)
service satisfaction surveys of regulated entities, such as food
processors; cosmetic, drug, biologic, and medical device manufacturers;
animal drugs, animal food and feed; tobacco products; and consumers and
health professionals.
FDA will use the information from these surveys to identify
strengths and weaknesses in service to customers/partners and to make
improvements. The surveys will measure timeliness, appropriateness,
clarity, and accuracy of information, courtesy, and problem resolution
in the context of individual programs.
FDA estimates conducting approximately 20 customer/partner service
satisfaction surveys per year, each requiring an average of 25 minutes
for review and completion. We estimate respondents to these surveys to
be between 100 and 20,000 customers/partners. Some of these surveys
will be repeats of earlier surveys for purposes of monitoring customer/
partner service and developing long-term data. Respondents to this
collection of information cover a broad range of stakeholders who have
experience with certain products regulated by or services provided by
FDA.
In the Federal Register of April 3, 2026 (91 FR 16951), FDA
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the proposed
collection of information. One comment was received; however, it did
not respond to the questions posed in Sec. 1320.8(d).
FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
Table 1--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden\1\
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of
Activity Number of responses per Total annual Average burden per response Total hours
respondents respondent responses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mail, telephone, web-based survey.............. 85,000 1 85,000 .42 (25 minutes)....................... 35,700
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Based on a review of the information collection since our last
request for OMB approval, we have made no adjustments to our burden
estimate.
Grace R. Graham,
Deputy Commissioner for Policy, Legislation, and International Affairs.
