**DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY** 

**Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;**  **Comment Request; Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative**  **Feedback on Agency Service Delivery**

**AGENCY :**  Department of Homeland Security.

**ACTION :**  30-Day notice of submission of information collection approval from the Office of Management and Budget and request for comments.

**SUMMARY :**  As part of a Federal Government-wide effort to streamline the process to seek feedback from the public on service delivery, Department of Homeland Security has submitted a Generic Information Collection Request (Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery’’ to OMB for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq. ).

**DATES :**  Comments must be submitted October 6, 2011.

**ADDRESSES :**  Written comments may be submitted to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to OMB Desk Officer, Department of Homeland Security and sent via electronic mail to oira

_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed
to 202–395–5806. **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  To request additional information, please contact: Department of Homeland Security, Office of the Chief Information Office, dhs.pra@dhs.hq.gov, 202–343–
2496.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.

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 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.
