SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Scientific and Technical 

Information (STI) Program Office desires 

to seek out customer feedback from 

industry, academia, research institutes, 

other government, as well as individual 

members of the public, in order to 

assess the impact of the STI 

disseminated to those populations in 

terms of cost avoidance, schedule gain, 

productivity, innovation, and potential 

job creation. 

II. Method of Collection 

We intend to introduce the feedback 

questionnaire by initially by e-mail in 

reply to fulfilled information requests 

initiated by customers; however, 

customers accessing STI online will also 

have an option to provide their feedback 

via e-mail or web-based questionnaire as 

part of the document retrieval process. 

III. Data

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Information 

Collection. This is a 30-day notice of 

submission of information collection 

approval from the Office of Management 

and Budget and request for comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of a Federal 

Government-wide effort to streamline 

the process to seek feedback from the 

public on service delivery, NASA 

Headquarters has submitted a Generic 

Information Collection Request (Generic 

ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery’’ to OMB for 

approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 

seq.). 

DATES: All comments should be 

submitted within 15 calendar days 

following the date of this publication. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted to Lori Parker, Office of the 

Chief Information Officer, Mail Suite 

2S65, National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration, Washington, DC 20546– 

0001. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information or 

copies of the information collection 

instrument(s) and instructions should

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

1The 60-day notice included the following 

estimate of the aggregate burden hours for this 

generic clearance federal-wide: 

Average Expected Annual Number of Activities: 

25,000. 

Average Number of Respondents per Activity: 

200. 

Annual Responses: 5,000,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 30. 

Burden Hours: 2,500,000. 

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 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. 

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 NASA 

Headquarters 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: 1,000. 

Respondents: 200,000 annually. 

Annual Responses: 200,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 50,000 hours (over 

three years). 

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.

National Environmental Policy Act; 

Sounding Rockets Program; Poker Flat 

Research Range 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

and to conduct scoping for continuing 

sounding rocket operations at Poker Flat 

Research Range (PFRR), Alaska. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act, as amended, 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

Regulations for Implementing the 

Procedural Provisions of NEPA (40 CFR 

parts 1500–1508), and NASA’s NEPA 

policy and procedures (14 CFR part 

1216, subpart 1216.3), NASA intends to 

prepare an EIS for its continued use of 

the University of Alaska-Fairbanks 

(UAF) owned and managed PFRR, 

outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. The U.S. 

Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and 

UAF will serve as Cooperating Agencies 

as they possess both regulatory 

authority and specialized expertise 

regarding the Proposed Action that will 

be the subject of the EIS. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

apprise interested agencies, 

organizations, tribal governments, and 

individuals of NASA’s intent to prepare 

the EIS and to request input regarding 

the definition of reasonable alternatives 

and significant environmental issues to 

be evaluated in the EIS. 

In cooperation with BLM, UAF, and 

USFWS, NASA will hold public scoping 

meetings as part of the NEPA process 

associated with the development of the 

EIS. The scoping meeting locations and 

dates identified at this time are 

provided under SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION below. 

DATES: Interested parties are invited to 

submit comments on environmental 

issues and concerns, preferably in 

writing, on or before June 1, 2011, to 

assure full consideration during the 

scoping process. 

ADDRESSES: Comments submitted by 

mail should be addressed to Joshua 

Bundick, Manager, Poker Flat Research 

Range EIS, NASA Goddard Space Flight 

Center’s Wallops Flight Facility, 

Wallops Island, Virginia 23337. 

Comments may be submitted via e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Programmatic Background 

NASA’s SRP, based at the Goddard 

Space Flight Center’s Wallops Flight 

Facility (WFF), supports the NASA 

Science Mission Directorate’s strategic 

vision and goals for understanding the 

phenomena affecting the past, present, 

and future of Earth and the solar system 

and supports the Agency’s educational 

mission. The suborbital missions 

enabled by the SRP provide researchers 

with opportunities to build, test, and fly 

new instrument concepts while 

simultaneously conducting world class 

scientific research. With its hands-on 

approach to mission formulation and 

execution, the SRP also helps ensure 

that the next generation of space 

scientists receives the training and 

experience necessary to move on to 

NASA’s larger, more complex missions.
