SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Fast Track Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery; 

OMB Control Number 0704–0553. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Number of Respondents: 1,200,000. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 1,200,000. 

Average Burden per Response: 15 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 300,000. 

Needs and Uses: The 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. 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. 

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. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; Businesses or other forprofits; Not-for-profit institutions; 

Federal Government; State, Local, or 

Tribal Governments. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On January 13, 2021, the Department 

of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) published a final rule 

(86 FR 2744) reissuing and modifying 12 

existing Nationwide Permits (NWPs) 

and issuing four new NWPs, as well as 

the NWP general conditions and 

definitions. In addition, the Corps 

published another final rule (86 FR 

73522) reissuing 40 NWPs and issuing 

one new NWP on December 27, 2021. 

Both sets of NWPs are currently set to 

expire on March 14, 2026. 

The NWPs authorize certain activities 

under Section 404 of the Clean Water 

Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and 

Harbors Act of 1899 with no more than 

minimal individual and cumulative 

adverse effects to the environment. 

Section 404(e) of the Clean Water Act 

provides the statutory authority for 

NWP issuance, after notice and 

opportunity for public hearing, for a 

period of no more than five years after 

the date of issuance (33 U.S.C. 1344(e)). 

Nationwide permits are a type of general 

permit and are designed to regulate with 

little, if any, delay or paperwork certain 

activities in federally jurisdictional 

waters and wetlands (see 33 CFR 

330.1(b)). This program can incentivize 

project proponents to reduce the 

adverse effects of their planned 

activities that would otherwise require 

an individual permit under Section 404 

of the Clean Water Act and/or Section 

10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 

1899, in order to qualify for NWP 

authorization. The categories of 

activities authorized by NWPs must be 

similar in nature, cause only minimal 

adverse environmental effects when 

performed separately, and have only 

minimal cumulative adverse effects on 

the environment (see 33 U.S.C. 

1344(e)(1)). By regulation, NWPs can be 

modified, reissued, revoked, or 

suspended before they expire (see 33 

CFR 330.5).
