Board, 1331 F Street NW, Suite 1000,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Background 

Under the PRA and its implementing 

regulations (5 CFR part 1320), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from 

OMB for each collection of information 

they conduct or sponsor (e.g., 

contractually-required information 

collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection 

of information,’’ within the meaning of 

the PRA, includes agency requests that 

pose identical questions to, or impose 

reporting or recording keeping 

obligations on, ten or more persons, 

regardless of whether response to such 

request is mandatory or voluntary. See 

5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C. 

3502(3). Before seeking clearance from 

OMB, agencies are generally required, 

among other things, to publish a 60-day 

notice in the Federal Register 

concerning any proposed information 

collection—including extension of a 

previously-approved collection—and 

provide an opportunity for comment. 

See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 

1320.8(d)(1). 

B. Proposed Renewal of Information 

Collection Request 

The Access Board is providing notice 

of its intent to seek renewal of its 

existing generic clearance for the 

collection of qualitative feedback with 

regard to agency services delivered by 

its Office of Technical and Information 

Services (OTIS) and Architectural 

Barriers Act (ABA) compliance and 

enforcement program. To date, we have 

found the feedback garnered through 

qualitative customer satisfaction surveys 

(and similar information collections) to 

be beneficial, by providing useful 

insights in experiences, perceptions, 

opinions, and expectations regarding 

Access Board services or focusing 

attention on areas in need of 

improvement. We thus intend to seek 

approval to continue our current efforts 

to solicit qualitative customer feedback 

by seeking input from customers across 

our agency programs and services. 

Online surveys will be used unless the 

customer contacts the agency by phone 

for technical assistance or an individual 

otherwise expresses a preference for 

another survey format (i.e., fillable form 

in portable document format or paper 

survey). In addition, paper surveys may 

be used to garner feedback from 

participants at in-person trainings or 

similar events. 

OMB Control Number: 3014–0011. 

81874 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 243 / Thursday, December 17, 2020 / Notices 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change. 

Abstract: The proposed information 

collection activity facilitates collection 

of qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner, 

in accordance with the Federal 

Government’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback we mean 

information collections that provide 

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 

insight 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 services. These 

collections will allow for ongoing, 

collaborative, and actionable 

communications between the Access 

Board and its customers and 

stakeholders. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households; Businesses 

and Organizations; State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Burden Estimates: In the table below 

(Table 1), the Access Board provides 

estimates for the annual reporting 

burden for the information collections 

proposed under this renewed generic 

information collection request. (The 

Access Board does not anticipate 

incurring any capital or other direct 

costs associated with this information 

collection. Nor will there be any costs 

to respondents, other than their time.)

Request for Comment: The Access 

Board seeks comment on any aspect of 

the proposed renewal of its existing 

generic clearance for the collection of 

qualitative feedback on agency service 

delivery, including (a) whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the Access Board’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (c) ways for the 

Access Board to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information 

collection; and (d) ways that the burden 

could be minimized without reducing 

the quality of the collected information. 

Comments will be summarized and 

included in our request for OMB’s 

approval of renewal of our existing 

generic clearance.

Interim Executive Director.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Census Bureau plans to request 

an extension of the current OMB 

clearance for the Quarterly Survey of 

Plant Capacity Utilization (SPC). The 

SPC is conducted quarterly, collecting 

from manufacturing plants and 

publishers, the value of actual 

production, the value of production that 

could have been achieved if operating at 

‘‘full production’’ levels, and the value 

of production that could have been 

achieved if operating at ‘‘national 

emergency’’ levels. The survey also 

collects data on work patterns by shift. 

These data include hours in operations, 

production workers, and plant hours 

worked.
