Needs and Uses: The proposed 

information collection activity provides 

a means to garner qualitative customer

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. 

Responses will be assessed to plan 

and inform efforts to improve or 

maintain the quality of service offered to 

the public. If this information is not 

collected, vital feedback from customers 

and stakeholders on the Agency’s 

services will be unavailable. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households; Business or Other ForProfit; Not-For-Profit Institutions; 

Farms; Federal Government; State, 

Local, or Tribal Government.
