SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it must first publish a 

document in the Federal Register 

providing a 60-day comment period and 

otherwise consult with members of the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

each proposed collection of information. 

The OMB has promulgated regulations 

describing what must be included in 

such a document. Under OMB’s 

regulation (at 5CFR 1320.8(d), an agency 

must ask for public comment on the 

following: 

(i) 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; 

(ii) 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; 

(iii) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(iv) how to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g. permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks for public 

comments on the following proposed 

collection of information for which the 

agency is seeking approval from: 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0682. 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: 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. 

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. 

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 Agency’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The Agency 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 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
8942 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 33 / Thursday, February 19, 2015 / Notices 

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 is intended to 

be used only internally for general 

service improvement and program 

management purposes and is not 

intended for release outside of the 

agency (if released, the agency must 

indicate the qualitative nature of the 

information); 

• 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. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Frequency: Once per request. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 20,204. 

Number of Respondents: 113,582. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding 

the burden estimate, including 

suggestions for reducing the burden, to 

the Office of Management and Budget, 

Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of 

the Secretary of Transportation, 725 

17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer 

Information Regulations (sections 103 

and 105). 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0049. 

Form Number: None. 

Affected Public: Vehicle 

manufacturers. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from approval 

date. 

Abstract: NHTSA must ensure that 

motor vehicle manufacturers comply 

with 49 CFR part 575, Consumer 

Information Regulation part 575.103 

Truck-camper loading and part 575.105 

Utility Vehicles. Part 575.103 requires 

that manufacturers of light trucks that 

are capable of accommodating slide-in 

campers provide information on the 

cargo weight rating and the longitudinal 

limits within which the center of gravity 

for the cargo weight rating should be 

located. Part 575.105 requires that 

manufacturers of utility vehicles affix a 

sticker in a prominent location alerting 

drivers that the particular handling and 

maneuvering characteristics of utility 

vehicles require special driving 

practices when these vehicles are 

operated. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 15. 

Based on prior years’ manufacturer 

submissions, the agency estimates that 

15 responses will be submitted 

annually. Currently 19 light truck 

manufacturers comply with 49 CFR part 

575. These manufacturers file one 

response annually and submit an 

additional response when they 

introduce a new model. Changes are 

rarely filed with the agency, but we 

estimate that three manufacturers will 

alter their information because of model 

changes. The light truck manufacturers 

gather only pre-existing data for the 

purposes of this regulation. Based on 

previous years’ manufacturer
