assisting the agency’s safety efforts with 

consumer products that use these 

technologies. CPSC staff is interested in 

discussing the best way to provide 

guidance to manufacturers and 

importers of consumer products with AI 

and ML, to test products for safety that 

address the following considerations: 

• Identification: 

Æ Determine presence of AI and ML 

in consumer products. 

D Does the product have AI and ML 

components? 

• Implications: 

Æ Differentiate what AI and ML 

functionality exists. 

D What are the AI and ML 

capabilities? 

• Impact: 

Æ Discern how AI and ML 

dependencies affect consumers. 

D Do AI and ML affect consumer 

product safety? 

• Iteration: 

Æ Distinguish when AI and ML, 

evolve and how this transformation 

changes outcomes. 

D When do products evolve/transform, 

and do the evolutions/transformations 

affect product safety?

[Docket ID: DoD–2020–OS–0069] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: National Defense University, 

Department of Defense (DoD). 

ACTION: 30-Day information collection 

notice. 

SUMMARY: The DoD has submitted to 

OMB for clearance the following 

proposal for collection of information 

under the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

comments received by December 31, 

2020. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

whs.mc-alex.esd.mbx.dd-dodinformation-collections@mail.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: National Defense University 

(NDU) Student Profile; OMB Control 

Number 0704–XXXX. 

Type of Request: Existing collection in 

use without an OMB Control Number. 

Number of Respondents: 2,525. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 2525. 

Average Burden per Response: 20 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 841.7 hours. 

Needs and Uses: This information 

collection is required to complete the 

official student record, which is stored 

in the University Student Management 

System (USMS), a component of the 

NDU Enterprise Information System. 

Through this information collection, 

students provide profile information 

such as demographics, educational 

background, military service or 

professional background, and 

emergency contact information. The 

information is critical to university 

operations as it is used to fulfill 

mandatory reporting requirements and 

ensure the safety of students. The 

information is collected from students 

electronically, via a web-based form that 

contains a combination of selectedresponse (radio buttons, drop-down 

menus) and open-response items. The 

National Defense University Student 

Profile (NSP) is completed by all 

students, and is administered using a 

Drupal-based survey platform provided 

by USA Learning. The data are 

downloaded, processed, and transferred 

to the USMS by NDU’s Office of 

Institutional Research. The end result is 

a set of complete student records for 

each academic year in the official 

repository for such record. The data are 

used for various institutional purposes 

such as mandatory reporting and 

notifying students of emergencies or 

closures. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Fast Track Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery— 

the Interactive Customer Evaluation 

(ICE) System; 0704–0420. 

Needs and Uses: The proposed 

information collection activity provides 

a means to 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. 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as: Timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

will be assessed to plan and inform 

efforts to improve or maintain the 

quality of service offered to the public. 

If this information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Agency’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The Agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does 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. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
