6520 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2015 / Notices 

NIOSH uses the data collected in this 

process to complete an individual dose 

reconstruction that accounts, as fully as 

possible, for the radiation dose incurred 

by the employee in the line of duty for 

DOE nuclear weapons production 

programs. After dose reconstruction, 

NIOSH also performs a brief, voluntary 

final interview with the claimant to 

explain the results and to allow the 

claimant to confirm or question the 

records NIOSH has compiled. This will 

also be the final opportunity for the 

claimant to supplement the dose 

reconstruction record. Approximately 

3,600 claimants will be interviewed 

with an average burden of one hour per 

response. 

At the conclusion of the dose 

reconstruction process, the claimant 

submits a form to confirm that the 

claimant has no further information to 

provide to NIOSH about the claim at 

this time. The form notifies the claimant 

that signing the form allows NIOSH to 

forward a dose reconstruction report to 

DOL and to the claimant, and closes the 

record on data used for the dose 

reconstruction. Signing this form does 

not indicate that the claimant agrees 

with the outcome of the dose 

reconstruction. The dose reconstruction 

results will be supplied to the claimant 

and to the DOL, the agency that will 

utilize them as one part of its 

determination of whether the claimant 

is eligible for compensation under the 

Act. It is estimated that 3,600 claimants 

will complete the conclusion form 

which takes approximately five minutes 

per response. 

The total estimated burden hours are 

3,900. There is no cost to respondents 

other than their time.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Proposed Projects: Conduct an 

electronic survey of 2012-funded Family 

Connection grantees to collect process 

evaluation data to include as part of the 

Cross-Site Evaluation. 

Title: Cross-site Evaluation Survey 

2012 Family Connection Grantees 

OMB No.: 0970–NEW 

Description: In the interest of 

providing as complete an evaluation 

report as possible by the end of FY15, 

the Children’s Bureau has directed the 

contractor conducting the Cross-site 

Evaluation to adopt the most efficient 

means possible to collect process 

evaluation data from grantees. The 

proposed electronic survey will replace 

originally planned in-person and 

telephone discussions with electronic 

surveys. This will enable collection of 

key information on project design, 

implementation, maintenance, and 

sustainability from key grantee 

representatives in an abbreviated 

amount of time. The quantitative nature 

of the surveys will enable rapid data 

analysis and reporting. 

Respondents: The Cross-site 

Evaluation addresses a total of 

seventeen (17) Family Connection 

grantees. Four categories of participants 

will be surveyed: Project Leadership, 

Service Providers, Project Partners 

(public child welfare and community 

agencies), and Evaluators. For each 

grantee, an average of 20 respondents is 

anticipated: 4 project leadership, 9 

service providers, 2 public child welfare 

agency representatives, 2 community 

partner representatives, and 3 

evaluators. These numbers of 

participants, per category, are used in 

the table below to calculate the number 

of respondents, across the 17 projects to 

be surveyed. Differences in burden 

estimates for the different instruments 

reflect the number of questions in each.

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment 

Request: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery (NIMH) 

SUMMARY: National Institute of Mental 

Health, as part of its continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, invites the general public to 

take this opportunity to comment on the 

‘‘Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery ’’ for approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et. seq.). This collection was 

developed as part of a Federal 

Government-wide effort to streamline 

the process for seeking feedback from 

the public on service delivery. This 

notice announces our intent to submit 

this collection to OMB for approval and 

solicits comments on specific aspects 

for the proposed information collection.

Proposed Collection: Generic 

Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery (NIMH), 0925–0650, Expiration 

Date 1/31/2015, REINSTATEMENT 

WITHOUT CHANGE, National Institute 

of Mental Health (NIMH), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: There are no changes being 

requested for this submission. The 

proposed information collection activity 

provides a means to 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 information 

about the NIMH’s 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 

NIMH and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as: Timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. 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 NIMH’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The NIMH 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 and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• 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 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.
