in, or potentially interested in ACF 

programs and similar programs is vital 

to ensure ACF is responsive to the needs 

of those it serves and that resources are, 

and programming is appropriate, useful, 

and relevant for audiences. Information 

collections under this generic would 

gather information from individuals 

with diverse experiences and 

perspectives to inform ACF policies and 

programs. The information collected 

would allow for ongoing, two-way 

collaborative and actionable 

communications between ACF and its 

state, local and/or Tribal partners, 

program participants, communities 

served or affected by ACF programs, and 

or others experienced with or interested 

in ACF programs or similar programs. 

ACF envisions using information 

collected to inform a variety of efforts 

and activities such as the improvement, 

planning, and implementation of 

research studies, program changes, 

development and dissemination of 

resources and products developed 

under ACF studies, regulatory activities, 

guidance, outreach and/or training 

activities. 

The specific types of information 

gathering methods included under the 

umbrella of this clearance will vary, but 

will use well-established 

methodologies, including but not 

limited to: 

• Semi-structured discussions or

conference calls

• Focus groups

• Telephone or in-person interviews

• Questionnaires/Surveys

• Roundtable and/or Breakout Sessions

• Open-ended requests

• Contextualizing Existing Data

Data collection will take place

through a variety of activities—both inperson and virtual—dependent on the 

specific project. ACF will submit 

individual requests under this 

clearance. ACF requests OMB provide a 

response on individual generic 

information collections within 10 

business days. 

Respondents: Respondents could 

include current or prospective service 

providers, T/TA providers, grant 

recipients, contractors, current and 

potential participants in ACF programs 

or other comparable groups and other 

individuals with lived experience with 

ACF or similar programs, experts in 

fields pertaining to ACF programs, other 

key groups involved in ACF projects 

and programs, individuals engaged in 

program re-design or demonstration 

development for evaluation, state or 

local government officials, those in 

broader fields of study related to human 

services, or others involved in or 

prospectively involved in ACF 

programs. 

Burden Estimates 

The burden table below is illustrative. 

Estimates for the number of respondents 

and time per response have been made 

based on discussion with ACF program 

offices, but as this is a new umbrella 

generic, it may be possible that we will 

need to adjust estimates throughout the 

three-year approval period. If needed, 

ACF will submit a change request for 

these updates. While we will not exceed 

the total burden cap for this generic 

without requesting a change for updates, 

we may use more or less burden within 

each instrument type.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery (Office of 

Management and Budget #: 0970–0401) 

AGENCY: Administration for Children 

and Families, Department of Health and 

Human Services. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Children and Families (ACF) proposes 

to extend data collection under the 

existing overarching Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery 

(Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) #0970–0401). There are no 

changes to the proposed types of 

information collection or uses of data, 

but ACF is requesting an increase to the 

estimated number responses per 

respondent. 

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of 

publication. In compliance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is soliciting 

public comment on the specific aspects 

of the information collection described 

above. 

ADDRESSES: You can obtain copies of the 

proposed collection of information and 

submit comments by emailing 

OPREinfocollection@acf.hhs.gov. 

Identify all requests by the title of the 

information collection. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description: Executive Order 12862 

directs federal agencies to provide 

service to the public that matches or 

exceeds the best service available in the 

private sector. As outlined in 

Memorandum M–11–26, OMB worked 

with agencies to create a Fast Track 

Process to allow agencies to obtain

timely feedback on service delivery 

while ensuring that the information 

collected is useful and minimally 

burdensome for the public, as required 

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995. ACF created this generic clearance 

in response to this effort by OMB. 

To work continuously to ensure that 

the ACF programs are effective and meet 

our customers’ needs, we use this Fast 

Track generic clearance process to 

collect qualitative feedback on our 

service delivery. This collection of 

information is necessary to enable ACF 

to garner customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner 

in accord with our commitment to 

improving service delivery. The 

information collected from our 

customers and stakeholders helps 

ensure that users have an effective, 

efficient, and satisfying experience with 

the programs. This feedback provides 

insights into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences, and 

expectations; provides 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 allow for 

ongoing, collaborative, and actionable 

communications between ACF and its 

customers and stakeholders. They also 

allow feedback to contribute directly to 

the improvement of program 

management. 

Per Memorandum M–11–26, 

information collection requests 

submitted under this Fast Track generic 

will be considered approved unless 

OMB notifies ACF otherwise within 5 

days. 

Respondents: ACF program 

participants, potential program 

participants, stakeholders, and other 

customers.
