SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC seeks to renew the following currently 
approved collection of information:
    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 
on Agency Service Delivery.
    OMB Number: 3041-0148.
    Type of Review: Renewal of collection.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households, businesses and 
organizations, state, local, or tribal government.
    General Description of Collection: Executive Order 12862 (Sept. 11, 
1993) directs Federal agencies such as CPSC to provide service to the 
public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the 
private sector. To that end, CPSC seeks to renew OMB approval of a 
generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on CPSC's service 
delivery. Qualitative feedback means information that provides useful 
insights on perceptions and opinions. This does not include statistical 
surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the 
population of study. This collection of information is necessary to 
enable CPSC to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an 
efficient, timely manner, in accordance with CPSC's commitment to 
improving service delivery.
    This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder 
perceptions, experiences, and expectations; provide an early warning of 
issues with service; and help 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 CPSC and 
its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to 
contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
    Estimated Burden: CPSC will use a variety of instruments and 
platforms to collect information from respondents. CPSC estimates the 
burden of the collection of information is as follows:

                                        Estimated Annual Reporting Burden
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                      Annual
               Type of collection                    Number of     frequency per     Hours per      Total hours
                                                    respondents      response        response
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qualitative Surveys (3).........................             600               1             .25             150
Focus Groups....................................             200               1               4             800
Customer Satisfaction Surveys (3)...............             600               1             .25             150
Usability Tests.................................             200               1              .5             100
Online Complaint Forms..........................           2,500               1             .25             625
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the above numbers, the total estimated burden for 
qualitative surveys, focus groups, customer satisfaction surveys, 
usability tests and complaint forms combined is 1,825 hours annually. 
Thus, assuming an hourly rate of $49.32 (U.S. Bureau of Labor 
Statistics, ``Employer Costs for Employee Compensation,'' All Civilian

[[Page 61212]]

Workers, Total compensation, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_06122026.htm">https://www.bls.gov/news.release/archives/ecec_06122026.htm</a>, March 2026) the total burden cost is approximately 
$90,000 annually ($49.32 per hour x 1,825 hours = $90,009).
    Request for Comments: The Commission solicits written comments from 
all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. 
The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the 
following topics:
    <bullet> whether the collection of information described above is 
necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, 
including whether the information would have practical utility;
    <bullet> whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of 
information is accurate;
    <bullet> whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected could be enhanced; and
    <bullet> whether the burden imposed by the collection of 
information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other 
technological collection techniques, or other forms of information 
technology.

Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.
