SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will consist of a variety of 

service delivery-focused activities over 

the next few years including consumer 

outreach and information-sharing with 

stakeholders that are responsive to 

stakeholders’ needs and sensitive to 

changes in the consumer market. The 

proposed information collection activity 

will use similar methods for information 

collection or otherwise share common 

elements, and provide a means to gather 

qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner. 

By qualitative feedback we mean 

information that provides useful 

information on perceptions and 

opinions. The solicitation of 

information on delivery of consumer 

services will address such areas as 

appropriate messages, effective message 

delivery methods, and current consumer 

beliefs, psychographics and social 

norms that will assist the OCO in 

developing an outreach and 

communications campaign designed to 

change consumer behavior. Since these 

systems will use similar methods for 

information collection or otherwise 

share common elements, the OCO is 

proposing a generic clearance for this 

process which will allow the OCO to 

implement these systems and meet the 

obligations of the PRA without the 

delays of the normal clearance process. 

Burden statement: The preliminary 

estimate of aggregate burden for this 

generic clearance follows. Since the 

statutory mandate behind the OCO’s 

consumer outreach is new, the estimate 

of the number of respondents is a 

projection and could change 

significantly based on the collection 

method ultimately used in the research. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 240. 

Estimated number of responses: 10 

per year. 

Estimated total annual burden on 

respondents: 2,400 responses. 

Frequency of collection: once per 

request. 

Average minutes per response: 120 

minutes. 

Estimated total annual burden hours 

requested: 4,800 hours. 

Dated: April 3, 2013.

Secretary of the Commission.
