SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will garner qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. 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 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 

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. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide 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 

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. 

The Agency received no comments in 

response to the 60-day notice published 

in the Federal Register of December 22, 

2010 (75 FR 80542). 

Below we provide TVA’s projected 

average estimates for the next three 

years: 1

Current Actions: New collection of 

information. 

Type of Review: New Collection 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

Activities: 5. 

Respondents: 10,000. 

Annual Responses: 10,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 15. 

Burden Hours: 2,500. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Surface Transportation Board 

Disclosure of Rail-Interchange 

Commitments; Notice and Request for 

Comments 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board, 

DOT. 

ACTION: 30-day notice of request for 

approval: Disclosure of Rail-Interchange 

Commitments. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation 

Board (STB or Board) has submitted a 

request to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for an reinstatement of 

approval for the collection of 

agreements containing rail-interchange 

commitments. A rail interchange 

commitment is a contractual provision, 

which may be included with a sale or 

lease of a rail line, that limits the 

incentive or the ability of the purchaser 

or tenant carrier to interchange traffic 

with rail carriers other than the seller or 

lessor railroad. Under the Board’s 

regulations, whenever a carrier or other 

person seeks authority, through the 

Board’s abbreviated exemption 

procedures, to acquire (through sale or 

lease) or to operate a rail line, that 

carrier or other person is required to 

submit a copy of any agreement that 

contains such an interchange 

commitment. 

The Board previously published a 

notice about this collection in the 

Federal Register on December 22, 2010, 

at 75 FR 80,569. That notice allowed for 

a 60-day public review and comment 

period. No comments were received. 

This collection is described in detail 

below. Comments may now be 

submitted to OMB concerning: (1) The 

accuracy of the Board’s burden 

estimates; (2) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information collected; (3) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on the respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, when 

appropriate; and (4) whether this 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Board, including 

whether the collection has practical 

utility. 

Description of Collection 

Title: Disclosure of Rail Interchange 

Commitments. 

OMB Control Number: 2140–0016. 

STB Form Number: None.
