Agency Service Delivery 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments for a reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA) invites 

public comments about our intention to 

request approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) to 

reinstate a previously approved 

information collection. Before a Federal 

agency can collect certain information 

from the public, it must receive 

approval from OMB. Under procedures 

established by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (PRA), before seeking OMB 

approval, Federal agencies must solicit 

public comment on proposed 

collections of information, including 

extensions and reinstatements of 

previously approved collections. This 

document describes a collection of 

information for which NHTSA intends 

to seek OMB approval on generic 

clearance for qualitative feedback on 

agency service delivery. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 14, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. DOT–NHTSA– 

2022–0008 through one of the following

Culbreath, NIO–0300, (202) 366–1566, 

Office of the Chief Information Officer, 

W51–316, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. 

Please identify the relevant collection of 

information by referring to its OMB 

Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 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 

5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask 

for public comment on the following: (a) 

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; 

(b) 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; 

(c) how to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) how to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, 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. 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0682. 

Form Number(s): To be determined by 

specific collections. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: 3 years from date of approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: Executive Order 12862 

directs Federal agencies to provide the 

highest quality service possible to the 

public. This proposed information 

collection 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 collected through this 

information collection will provide 

insights into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences and 

expectations; provide 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. The feedback will allow for 

ongoing, collaborative and actionable 

communication between the Agency 

and its customers and stakeholders. 

This information collection will also 

allow feedback to contribute directly to 

the improvement of program 

management. 

The Agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collection is voluntary; 

• The collection is low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and is low-cost for both the 

respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collection is non-controversial 

and does 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 under this request 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2022 / Notices 2237 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information 

Improving agency programs requires 

ongoing assessment of service 

delivery—systematic review of the 

operation of a program compared to a 

set of explicit or implicit standards—as 

a means of contributing to the 

continuous improvement of the those 

programs. The Agency will collect, 

analyze, and interpret information 

gathered through this generic clearance 

to identify strengths and weaknesses of 

current services and make 

improvements in service delivery based 

on that feedback. 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 were not collected, 

vital feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Agency’s services 

would be unavailable and the Agency 

would not know if adjustments would 

be warranted. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

113,582. 

Frequency: On occasion, per request. 

Number of Responses: 113,582. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 20,204. 

The 20,204 annual burden hours 

requested are based on the number of 

collections we expect to conduct over 

the requested period for this clearance. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$0. 

Participation in this collection is 

voluntary, and there are no costs to 

respondents beyond the time spent 

participating in the surveys. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

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; 

(b) the accuracy of the Department’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

information collection; (c) ways f to 

enhance the quality, utility and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(d) 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. 

The agency will summarize and/or 

include your comments in the request 

for OMB’s clearance of this information 

collection.
