submit this collection to the Office of 

Management and Budget for approval 

and allows for an additional 30 days of 

public comment. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all 

comments received by August 20, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Fast Track Generic Clearance for 

the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 

on Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Number: To be determined. 

Needs and Uses: The proposed 

information collection provides a means 

to garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

agency’s commitment to improving 

service delivery. Qualitative feedback 

means information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but is not a statistical survey that yields 

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. 

OGE expects to use various methods 

(e.g., focus groups, customer satisfaction 

surveys, comment cards), to solicit 

feedback. Responses will be assessed to 

plan and inform efforts to improve or 

maintain the quality of service offered to 

the public and other agency 

stakeholders. If this information is not 

collected, vital feedback from customers 

and stakeholders on the agency’s 

services will be unavailable. 

The agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are noncontroversial; 

• The collections are focused on the 

awareness, understanding, attitudes, 

preferences, or experiences of the public 

or other stakeholders in order to 

improve existing or future services, 

products, or communication materials; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

to the public; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does 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. 

As a general matter, information 

collections submitted under this generic 

clearance will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

A Federal Register Notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting 

comments on this information 

collection was published on April 12, 

2018 (83 FR 15837–15838). OGE did not 

receive any comments in response. 

Current Action: New information 

collection request (generic). 

Type of Review: New.

Notice of Proposed Subaward Under a 

Council-Selected Restoration 

Component Award 

AGENCY: Gulf Coast Ecosystem 

Restoration Council. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Gulf Coast Ecosystem 

Restoration Council (RESTORE Council) 

publishes notice of proposed subawards 

from the Mississippi Department of 

Environmental Quality (MDEQ) to the 

Mississippi Wildlife Federation and the 

Partnership for Gulf Coast Land 

Conservation, two Mississippi nonprofit 

organizations, for the purpose of 

education and outreach in accordance 

with the Sea Grant Education and 

Outreach (EOE) Award, as approved in 

the Initial Funded Priority List. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please send questions by email to 

joshua.easton@restorethegulf.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1321(t)(2)(E)(ii)(III) of the RESTORE Act 

(33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(2)(E)(ii)(III)) and 

Treasury’s implementing regulation at 

31 CFR 34.401(b) require that, for 

purposes of awards made under the 

Council-Selected Restoration 

Component, a State or Federal award 

recipient may make a grant or subaward 

to or enter into a cooperative agreement 

with a nongovernmental entity that 

equals or exceeds 10 percent of the total 

amount of the award provided to the 

State or Federal award recipient only if 

certain notice requirements are met. 

Specifically, at least 30 days before the 

State or Federal award recipient enters 

into such an agreement, the Council 

must publish in the Federal Register 

and deliver to specified Congressional 

Committees the name of the recipient 

and subrecipient; a brief description of 

the activity, including its purpose; and 

the amount of the award. This notice 

accomplishes the Federal Register 

requirement. 

Description of Proposed Action 

As specified in the Initial Funded 

Priority List, which is available on the 

Council’s website at https://

www.restorethegulf.gov/councilselected-restoration-component/fundedpriorities-list, RESTORE Act funds in 

the amount of $750,000 will support the 

Sea Grant Education and Outreach 

(EOE) Award to MDEQ. As part of this 

project, MDEQ will provide a subaward 

in the amount of $84,150 to the 

Mississippi Wildlife Federation for 

enhancement of the Mississippi Habitat 

Stewards Program. Through the 

subaward, the Mississippi Wildlife 

Federation will expand an existing 

curriculum that relays the ecosystem 

benefits of upstream land conservation, 

habitat restoration and water quality 

restoration. The expanded curriculum 

will be offered for three different 

targeted audiences at different levels: 

Habitat steward volunteers; youth, ages 

9–12; and local high school 

environmental clubs. 

MDEQ will also provide a subaward 

in the amount of $99,050 to the 

Partnership for Gulf Coast Land 

Conservation (PGCLC). The PGCLC will 

conduct an outreach initiative that 

includes three components: The 

development of science-based 

communication products for use with a 

general audience that summarize and 

explain the benefits of land 

conservation in the Gulf coast region in 

lay terminology; field visits that bring 

together stakeholders to illustrate, in the 

field and by boat, the connectivity that 

land conservation practices along our 

coastal streams have to water quality in 

the northern Gulf of Mexico and to our 

marine and estuarine living resources; 

and the development of a short digital 

film that illustrates the connection 

between riparian and wetland forests 

and marine and estuarine living 

resources in the northern Gulf of 

Mexico.
