65032 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 222 / Monday, November 19, 2007 / Notices 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

intention of the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) allow the renewal of the 

generic information collection project: 

‘‘Voluntary Customer Surveys Generic 

Clearance for the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality.’’ In accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)), AHRQ invites the public 

to comment on this proposed 

information collection. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on August 3, 2007 and allowed 

60 days for public comment. No 

comments were received. A 30-day 

Federal Register notice was published 

on October 11th, 2007 to allow an 

additional 30 days for public comment. 

No comments were received. However, 

changes to the estimated annual 

respondent burden hours and the 

methodologies that will be used for the 

data collection require an additional 30 

days for public comment. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by December 19, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted to: AHRQ’s OMB Desk 

Officer by fax at (202) 395–6974 

(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer) or by email at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov 

(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer). Copies 

of the proposed collection plans, data 

collection instruments, and specific 

details on the estimated burden can be 

obtained from AHRQ’s Reports 

Clearance Officer. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Doris Lefkowitz, AHRQ, Reports 

Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

‘‘Voluntary Customer Surveys Generic 

Clearance for the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality.’’

In response to Executive Order 12862, 

the Agency for Healthcare Research and 

Quality (AHRQ) plans to conduct 

voluntary customer surveys to assess 

strengths and weaknesses in agency 

program services. Customer surveys to 

be conducted by AHRQ may include 

readership surveys from individuals 

using AHRQ automated and electronic 

technology databases to determine 

satisfaction with the information 

provided or surveys to assess effect of 

the grants streamlining efforts. Results 

of these surveys will be used in future 

program planning initiatives and to 

redirect resources and efforts, as 

needed, to improve AHRQ program 

services. The current clearance will 

expire January 31, 2008. This is a 

request for a generic approval from 

OMB to conduct customer surveys over 

the next three years. 

Methods of Collection 

The data will be collected using a 

combination of methodologies 

appropriate to each survey. These 

methodologies include: 

• Mail/e-mail surveys; 

• Telephone surveys; 

• Web-based surveys; 

• Focus groups; 

• In-person surveys. 

ESTIMATED ANNUAL RESPONDENT BURDEN

Type of information collection Number of 

respondents 

Number of 

responses per 

respondent 

Hours per 

response 

Total burden 

hours 

Mail/e-mail * ...................................................................................... 51,000 1 15/60 12,750 

Telephone ........................................................................................ 200 1 40/60 134 

Web-based ....................................................................................... 52,000 1 10/60 8,667 

Focus Groups .................................................................................. 200 1 2.0 400 

In-person .......................................................................................... 200 1 50/60 167 

Total .......................................................................................... 103,600 na na 22,118 

* May include telephone non-response follow-up in which case the burden will not change. 

This information collection will not 

impose a cost burden on the 

respondents beyond that associated 

with their time to provide the required 

data. There will be no additional costs 

for capital equipment, software, 

computer services, etc. 

Estimated Annual Costs to the Federal 

Government 

The mail and telephone surveys and 

focus groups will in some cases be 

carried out under contract. Assuming 

the contract cost per survey is $50,000–

$100,000, and for each focus group is 

$20,000, total contract costs could be 

$720,000 per year. 

Request for Comments 

In accordance with the above-cited 

Paperwork Reduction Act legislation, 

comments on AHRQ’s information 

collection are requested with regard to 

any of the following: (a) Whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

AHRQ health care research and health 

care information dissemination 

functions, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of AHRQ’s estimate of 

burden (including hours and costs) of 

the proposed collection(s) 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 upon the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and 

included in the Agency’s subsequent 

request for OMB approval of the 

proposed information collection. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record.
