effort to streamline the process to seek 

feedback from the public on service 

delivery, the Department of Defense 

announces a proposed generic 

information collection and seeks public 

comment on the provisions thereof. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information

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 

proposed information collection; (c)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: United States Navy Generic 

Clearance; OMB Control Number 0703– 

TBD. 

Needs and Uses: 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. 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. 

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.
