Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 4, 2022 / Notices 26391 

4NHTSA has a separate record retention 

regulation (49 CFR part 576) covered by a 

Paperwork Reduction Act clearance, OMB Control 

No. 2127–0042. 

TABLE 1—BURDEN ESTIMATES

Total burden

Total labor 

costs 

2,075 2.687 $38.67 $309.36 5,575 $215,585 

Since 49 CFR part 512 does not 

require those persons who request 

confidential treatment to keep copies of 

records or requests submitted to us, 

there are no associated recordkeeping 

burdens.4

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$165. 

The only cost to respondents is 

expected to be postage costs. NHTSA 

estimates that each mailed response 

costs $8.95 (priority flat rate envelope 

from USPS). Historically, Part 512 

requests were submitted by mail. 

However, at the onset of the COVID–19 

public health emergency, NHTSA began 

accepting Part 512 submissions 

electronically and requested that 

submissions not be mailed. NHTSA now 

estimates that no more than 1% of 

submissions are submitted by mail. 

Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total 

annual costs for this information 

collection to be $186 (2,075 submissions 

× .01 × $8.95 = $185.71, rounded to 

$186).

[Docket No. DOT- NHTSA–2022–0008] 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Notice and Request for 

Comment; Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments for a reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), this notice announces that the 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

abstracted below will be submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval. This 

document describes a collection of 

information for which NHTSA intends 

to seek OMB approval on generic 

clearance for qualitative feedback on 

agency service delivery. A Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period soliciting comments on the 

following information collection was 

published on January 13, 2022, 

87FR2235. No comments were received. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or June 3, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection, including 

suggestions for reducing burden, should 

be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget at 

www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

Please identify the relevant collection of 

information by referring to its OMB 

Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal 

agency must receive approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) before it collects certain 

information from the public and a 

person is not required to respond to a 

collection of information by a Federal 

agency unless the collection displays a 

valid OMB control number. In 

compliance with these requirements, 

this notice announces that the following 

information collection request will be 

submitted OMB. 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting public 

comments on the following information 

collection was published on January 13, 

2022. 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0682. 

Form Number: To be determined by 

specific collections. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: 3 years from date of approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: Executive Order 12862 

directs Federal agencies to provide the 

highest quality service possible to the 

public. This proposed 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. 

This feedback collected through this 

information collection will provide 

insights into customer or stakeholder 

perceptions, experiences and 

expectations; provide 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. The feedback will allow for 

ongoing, collaborative, and actionable 

communication between the Agency 

and its customers and stakeholders. 

This information collection will also 

allow feedback to contribute directly to

26392 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 4, 2022 / Notices 

the improvement of program 

management. 

The Agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collection is voluntary. 

• The collection is low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and is low-cost for both the 

respondents and the Federal 

Government. 

• The collection is non-controversial 

and does 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 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained. 

• Information gathered is intended to 

be used only internally for general 

service improvement and program 

management purposes and is not 

intended for release outside of the 

agency (if released, the agency must 

indicate the qualitative nature of the 

information). 

• 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. 

As a general matter, information 

collections under this request will not 

result in any new system of records 

containing privacy information and will 

not ask questions of a sensitive nature, 

such as sexual behavior and attitudes, 

religious beliefs, and other matters that 

are commonly considered private. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information 

Improving agency programs requires 

ongoing assessment of service 

delivery—systematic review of the 

operation of a program compared to a 

set of explicit or implicit standards—as 

a means of contributing to the 

continuous improvement of those 

programs. The Agency will collect, 

analyze, and interpret information 

gathered through this generic clearance 

to identify strengths and weaknesses of 

current services and make 

improvements in service delivery based 

on that feedback. 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 were not collected, 

vital feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Agency’s services 

would be unavailable and the Agency 

would not know if adjustments would 

be warranted. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

113,582. 

Frequency: On Occasion, per request. 

Number of Responses: 113,582. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 20,204. 

The 20,204 annual burden hours 

requested are based on the number of 

collections we expect to conduct over 

the requested period for this clearance. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$0. 

Participation in this collection is 

voluntary, and there are no costs to 

respondents beyond the time spent 

participating in the surveys. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspects of this 

information collection, including (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(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 the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses.
