Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 99 / Friday, May 22, 2015 / Notices 29703 

Ex-Im Bank is requesting the generic 

clearance in order to test new or 

proposed methodologies for customer 

interfaces, data collection activities, and 

Web site design. We believe the generic 

clearance will be a helpful vehicle for 

evaluating the usability and 

effectiveness of these methodologies. 

In the past, Ex-Im Bank has 

approached design and testing through 

convenience samples of nine or fewer 

persons to provide input and feedback 

or by relying on employee feedback. 

Neither of these approaches meets ExIm Bank’s needs to collect meaningful 

information on the usability and 

effectiveness of its customer interfaces. 

In the reference document we have 

provided a description of the scope of 

possible activities that might be covered 

under this clearance. The requested 

clearance is important to Ex-Im Bank’s 

usability testing program, because of the 

length of time required to develop 

customer interfaces. 

The specific methods proposed for 

coverage by this clearance are listed 

below. Also outlined are the procedures 

Ex-Im Bank plans to put in place for 

keeping OMB informed about the 

identity of the usability tests and the 

nature of the research activities being 

conducted. 

The methods proposed for use in 

system development are as follows: 

• Pilot testing, 

• Behavior coding, 

• Exploratory interviews, 

• Split sample experiments, 

• Cognitive and usability interviews, 

and 

• Focus groups. 

Before each testing activity is 

undertaken, Ex-Im Bank will provide 

OMB with a memo describing the study 

to be conducted and a copy of the 

instrumentation and instruction 

materials that will be used. Depending 

on the stage of instrumentation 

development, this may be a printed 

questionnaire, a set of prototype items 

showing each item type to be used and 

the range of topics to be covered by the 

questionnaire, or an interview script. 

When split sample experiments are 

conducted, either in small group 

sessions or as part of a field test, the 

different versions of the questionnaires 

to be used will be provided. For a test 

of alternative procedures, the 

description and rationale for the 

procedures will be submitted. A brief 

description of the planned field activity 

will also be provided.
