Abstract of Proposed Collection 

Department of State will be surveying 

the general populations of select foreign 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 44 / Friday, March 6, 2015 / Notices 12245 

countries. The data DoS collects will be 

used internally by DoS to determine 

how its missions can maximize the 

impact of their public diplomacy 

resources: DoS analysts will use the data 

to produce guidance on how budget, 

personnel, and other resources that 

drive USG communications to foreign 

publics can be used more efficiently and 

effectively. The U.S. Information and 

Educational Exchange Act of 1948, the 

State Department Basic Authorities Act 

of 1956 (in particular, 22 U.S.C. 2732), 

and the Mutual Educational and 

Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 give DoS 

the legal authority to engage in public 

diplomacy activities, including this data 

collection. 

Methodology 

Surveys will be administered by 

experienced in-country data collection 

subcontractors who will also clean and 

weight the data and then transfer the 

final data file to Department of State for 

analysis. Sampling strategies will vary 

by country/data collection 

subcontractor, but all surveys will 

employ a sampling and weighting 

strategy so that the surveys genuinely 

represent the general populations in 

terms of their geographic distribution 

and their demographic characteristics. 

For each country, the data should have 

an aggregate margin of error of no more 

than ±5% at a 95% level of confidence 

and should be free of any bias.
