                    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is planning to seek renewed Paperwork Reduction Act approval for a generic clearance for customer surveys conducted by NOAA program offices.                           ( print page 2888)                         Under the generic clearance, specific surveys are submitted to OMB for fast-track approval if they are consistent with the types of questions approved in the generic clearance.  NOAA uses the surveys to determine whether customers are satisfied with products and services received and to solicit suggestions for improvements.
