SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery: IHS Customer Service 

Satisfaction and Similar Surveys. 

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. Qualitative 

feedback is information that provides 

useful insights on perceptions and 

opinions, but is 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. 

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 

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 

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. 

Current Actions: Extension of 

approval for a collection of information. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households, businesses and 

organizations, and Tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

105,000. 

Below are projected annual average 

estimates for the next three years: 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

Activities: 100. 

Average Number of Respondents per 

Activity: 1,050. 

Annual Responses: 105,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 10. 

Burden Hours: 17,500. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. Comments 

are invited on: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of

National Institutes of Health 

Announcement of Requirements and 

Registration for ‘‘A Wearable Alcohol 

Biosensor’’ Challenge 

Authority: 15 U.S.C. 3719. 

Award Approving Official: Dr. 

Lawrence A. Tabak, Principal Deputy 

Director, National Institutes of Health 

(NIH). 

SUMMARY: Through the ‘‘A Wearable 

Alcohol Biosensor’’ Challenge (the 

‘‘Challenge’’), the National Institute on 

Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism 

(NIAAA), a component of the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH), is searching 

for a wearable or otherwise discreet 

device capable of measuring blood 

alcohol level in real time. The advent of 

alcohol biosensors that can be worn 

discreetly and used by individuals in 

the course of their daily lives will 

advance the mission of NIAAA in the 

arenas of research, treatment, and 

rehabilitation. NIAAA has supported 

academic and small business grants and 

contracts to advance the development 

and use of alcohol biosensors in the 

past. Current technological 

developments in electronics, 

miniaturization, wireless technology, 

and biophysical techniques of alcohol 

detection in humans increase the 

likelihood of successful development of 

a useful alcohol biosensor in the near 

future. The NIH believes that this 

challenge will stimulate investment 

from public and private sectors in the 

development of functional alcohol 

biosensors that will be appealing to 

individuals, treatment providers, and 

researchers. 

DATES:

Submission period begins March 2, 

2015, 9:00 a.m. ET. 

Submission period ends: December 1, 

2015. 

Judging period: January 2016. 

Winners announced: On or after 

February 15, 2016. 

The NIH will announce any changes 

to this timeline by amending this 

Federal Register notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Subject of Challenge 

Current technologies for real time 

monitoring of alcohol consumption, 

used in criminal justice applications, 

have performed adequately, but have 

disadvantages for broader use. 

NIAAA seeks the design and 

production of a wearable device to 

monitor blood alcohol levels in real 

time. The device should be 

inconspicuous, low profile, and 

appealing to the wearer. The design can 

take the form of jewelry, clothing, or any 

other format located in contact with the 

human body. A non-invasive technology 

is preferred. 

Current technology for continuous 

alcohol monitoring takes a reading every 

30 minutes. We are seeking a solution 

that improves on this interval and most 

closely approximates real time 

monitoring and data collection. The 

device should be able to quantitate 

blood alcohol level, interpret and store 

the data, or transmit it to a smartphone 

or other device by wireless 

transmission. Data storage and 

transmission must be completely secure 

in order to protect the privacy of the 

individual. The device should have the 

ability to verify standardization at 

regular intervals and to indicate loss of 

functionality. The power source should 

be dependable and rechargeable. A form 

of subject identification would be an 

added benefit. The device can be 

removable. 

This is a reduction to practice 

challenge that requires written 

documentation and a working prototype 

of the submitted solution. 

NIAAA is open to a range of design 

forms which can accomplish the above 

tasks. 

Statutory Authority of the Funding 

Source 

This Challenge is consistent with and 

advances the mission of NIAAA, as 

described in 42 U.S.C. 285n, to conduct 

and support biomedical and behavioral 

research, health services research, 

research training, and health 

information dissemination with respect 

to the prevention of alcohol abuse and 

the treatment of alcoholism, and to 

conduct a study of alternative 

approaches for alcoholism and alcohol 

abuse treatment and rehabilitation.
