I. Abstract

    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.

[[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.

II. Method of Collection

    Various methods are used, but the primary method is either a paper 
or electronic form.

III. Data

    OMB Number: 0648-0342.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households, business and other 
for-profit organizations, not-for-profit institutions, and state, 
local, or tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: Response times vary with the specific 
survey, but average 15 minutes or less.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,500.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $2,000.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance 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 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways 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 through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
