Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 
on Agency Service Delivery.
    OMB Number: 1651-0136.
    Current Actions: This submission is being made to extend the 
expiration date with no change to the burden hours.
    Type of Review: Extension (without change).
    Affected Public: Individuals and businesses.
    Abstract: Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide 
service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service 
available in the private sector. In order to work continuously to 
ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers' needs, 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) (hereafter ``the Agency'') 
seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect 
qualitative feedback on our 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 collection of information is necessary to enable CBP to garner 
customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in 
accordance with our commitment to improving service delivery. The 
information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help 
ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying 
experience with CBP's programs. 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 CBP 
and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to 
contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
    Type of Information Collection: Comment Cards.
