National Appeals Division 

Title: National Appeals Division 

Customer Service Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0503–0007. 

Summary of Collection: The Secretary 

of Agriculture established the National 

Appeals Division (NAD) on October 20, 

1994, by Secretary’s Memorandum 

1010–1, pursuant to the Federal Crop 

Insurance Reform and Department of 

Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 

(Pub. L. 103–354, section 271, dated 

October 13, 1994). The Act consolidated 

the appellate functions and staffs of 

several USDA agencies. The intent is to 

provide for independent hearing and 

review determinations that resulted 

from Agency adverse decisions. 

Administrative Judges conduct 

evidentiary hearing on adverse 

decisions or, when the appellant 

requests they review the Agency’s 

record of the adverse decision without 

a hearing. NAD maintains a database to 

track appeal requests, the database 

contains only information necessary to 

process the appeal request, such as the 

name, address, filing data, and final 

results of the appeal. NAD will collect 

information using a survey. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

NAD wants to gather current data to 

measure the appellant’s perception of 

the quality of how easy the 

determination was to read; how intently 

the Administrative Judge listened to the 

appellant; and how courteous the 

Administrative Judge was during the 

appeal process. NAD will also use the 

information gathered from its surveys to 

tailor and prioritize training. Failure to 

collect this information will not impede 

NAD’s ability to conduct administrative 

appeals; however, it will impair NAD’s 

ability to develop and improve 

Customer Service Standards. 

Description of Respondents: 

Individuals or households. 

Number of Responsdents: 2,400. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually.
