SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Control Number: 3002–0006. 

Abstract: The information collection 

activity will 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, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

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 the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will not yield data 

that can be generalized to the overall 

population. This type of generic 

clearance for qualitative information 

will not be used for quantitative 

information collections that are 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. Such data uses require 

more rigorous designs that address: The 

target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

The Agency received no comments in 

response to the 60-day notice published 

in the Federal Register on October 9, 

2014 (79 FR 61047). 

Below we provide the Conference’s 

projected average estimates for the next 

three years: 

Current Action: Reinstatement 

without change of a previously 

approved collection of information. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement 

without change. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households, businesses and 

organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Average expected annual number of 

activities: 6. 

Average number of respondents per 

activity: 110. 

Annual responses: 660. 

Frequency of response: Once per 

request. 

Average minutes per response: 6–60. 

Burden hours: 210–285. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number. 

Dated: December 18, 2014.
