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. 

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 243 / Thursday, December 17, 2020 / Notices 81875 

The primary sponsors of this 

collection and users of these data are the 

Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and the 

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The 

FRB uses these data in several ways. 

First, the capital workweek data is used 

as an indicator of capital use in the 

estimation of monthly output (industrial 

production). Second, the workweek data 

is used to improve the projections of 

labor productivity that are used to align 

industrial production (IP) with 

comprehensive benchmark information 

in the Manufacturing Sector of the 

Economic Census and the Annual 

Survey of Manufactures. Third, the 

utilization rate data assists in the 

assessment of recent changes in IP, as 

most of the high-frequency movement in 

utilization rates reflect production 

changes rather than capacity changes. 

Fourth, the time series of utilization rate 

data for each industry, in combination 

with the FRB IP data, is used to estimate 

current and historical measures of 

capacity consistent with the FRB 

production measures. The DLA uses 

these data to assess readiness to meet 

demand for goods under selected 

national emergency scenarios. 

II. Method of Collection 

The Census Bureau mails letters to 

respondents instructing them how to 

report electronically. Companies are 

asked to respond within 20 days of the 

initial mailing. The due date will be 

imprinted at the top of the letter. A 

reminder email is sent a week before the 

due date to delinquent respondents. 

Letters encouraging participation are 

mailed to companies that have not 

responded by the designated due date. 

A final email is sent to delinquent 

respondents with information for 

reporting online. Lastly, we will 

conduct a telephone follow-up. 

III. Data

maintenance services required 

specifically by the collection.)

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include, or 

summarize, each comment in our 

request to OMB to approve this ICR. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
