Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

Title: Qualitative Feedback on Agency 

Service Delivery. 

OMB Control Number: 0579–0377. 

Summary of Collection: Executive 

Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to 

provide service to the public that 

matches or exceeds the best service 

available in the private sector. In order 

to work continuously to ensure that our 

programs are effective and meet our 

customers’ needs, the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (hereafter 

‘‘APHIS’’) seeks to obtain OMB approval 

of a generic clearance to collect 

qualitative feedback on its service 

delivery. By qualitative feedback APHIS 

means 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 collection of information is 

necessary to enable APHIS to garner 

customer and stakeholder feedback in 

an efficient, timely manner, in 

accordance with its commitment to 

improving service delivery. The 

information collected from APHIS’s 

customers and stakeholders will help 

ensure that users have an effective, 

efficient, and satisfying experience with 

APHIS’s programs. 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 

APHIS and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

This information collection activity 

provides a means for the Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

to garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with 

APHIS’ commitment to improving 

service delivery. 

By qualitative feedback, we mean 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback provides insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences, and expectations; provides 

an early warning of issues with service; 

or focuses attention on areas where 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. This collection 

will allow for ongoing, generic 

collaborative and actionable 

communications between APHIS 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 APHIS’ services will be 

unavailable.
