full range of legal services including, by 

way of example, legal counsel to their 

departmental clients and client agencies 

in the regions, as described below, 

subject to the professional supervision 

and direction of the General Counsel. 

The Office of the General Counsel’s 

ten regional offices provide legal advice, 

administrative and judicial litigation 

support and counseling services to the 

regional components of the Department. 

Regional attorneys provide general law 

support to regional clients and handle 

work in most areas within HHS’ 

jurisdiction with particular emphasis on 

litigation for, among others, CMS, ACF, 

OCR, CDC, and IHS. Regional offices 

also provide leadership with respect to 

bankruptcy cases. In the area of civil 

rights, they work in close consultation 

with the Associate General Counsel for 

the Civil Rights Division to ensure that 

the regional positions align closely with 

those of the Division thereby fostering 

national uniformity. In other areas, the 

Divisions and Regions work 

collaboratively to provide consistent, 

uniform legal advice.

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: We are not requesting 

changes for this submission. The 

proposed information collection 

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. 

This information, however, is not 

statistical surveys that yield quantitative 

results, which can be generalized to the 

population of study. This feedback will 

provide information about the NIH’s 

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 NIH 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 NIH’s services will 

be unavailable. 

The NIH will only submit a collection 

for approval under this generic 

clearance if it meets the following: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of
