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, 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
53436 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 174 / Tuesday, September 9, 2014 / Notices 

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.
