**DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY** 

**[Docket No. DHS–2014–0041]**

**Agency Information Collection Activities: Generic Clearance for the**  **Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery** 

**AGENCY :**  Department of Homeland Security.

**ACTION :**  60-day notice and request for comments; extension without change of a currently approved collection, 1601–
0014.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Homeland Security will submit the following Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

**DATES :**  Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until November 10, 2014. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments, identified by docket number DHS– 2014–0041, by one of the following methods:

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// www.regulations.gov. Please follow the instructions for submitting comments.

• Email: dhs.pra@hq.dhs.gov Please include docket number DHS–2014–0041 in the subject line of the message.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  The information collection activity will 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 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. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will 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 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.

The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments which:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
