NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD


Proposed Information Collection Activity: Submission for Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  The NTSB is announcing an opportunity for public comment on 
the proposed collection of voluntary feedback regarding the public NTSB 
Web site. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), Federal 
agencies must publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information and subsequently allow 60 days for 
public comment in response to each notice. This notice solicits 
comments concerning the NTSB's proposed collection of information and 
feedback, via a voluntary survey available on the NTSB Web site, 
concerning the navigation, utility, and site design of the NTSB Web 
site.

DATES: Submit written comments regarding this proposed collection of 
information by February 11, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Respondents may submit written comments on the collection of 
information to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of the 
Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the 
National Transportation Safety Board, Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christine Fortin, NTSB, Office of 
Chief Information Officer, at (202) 314-6607.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 
codified at 44 United States Code (U.S.C.) 3501-3521), Federal agencies 
must obtain approval from OMB for each collection of information they 
conduct or sponsor. This request for comment is being made pursuant to 
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA. Interested persons are invited to 
send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including any of the following 
subjects: (1) The necessity and utility of the proposed information 
collection for the proper performance of the NTSB's function; (2) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) the 
use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology to minimize the information collection burden.
    The NTSB Online Customer Satisfaction Survey will seek the public's 
feedback regarding a variety of aspects of the current NTSB Web site. 
In particular, the survey will solicit feedback concerning the public's 
satisfaction with the content of information on the Web site, as well 
as the presentation and organization of information that is available 
on the NTSB Web site. The survey will also ask the public for opinions 
regarding the overall utility of certain categories of the existing Web 
site. The survey will also seek responses to questions concerning ways 
to improve the Web site, such as whether the public would find it 
helpful to include certain information. In addition, the survey will 
ask for general comments regarding ways the NTSB can improve its Web 
site. Finally, the survey will inquire into whether respondents are 
affiliated with a particular group, industry, or profession, and how 
often respondents visit the NTSB Web site. All responses to the survey 
will remain anonymous, and the introductory text of the survey will 
request that respondents refrain from including any identifying or 
personal information.
    The NTSB intends to use the feedback it obtains from this survey to 
improve the navigation, search capabilities, and information content on 
the NTSB Web site. The NTSB recognizes that Congress has directed the 
NTSB to provide transportation safety and accident-related information 
to the public, in the interest of improving transportation safety for 
the public. See 49 U.S.C. 1101-1155. Accordingly, the NTSB is aware of 
the importance of maintaining a Web site that is helpful to the public, 
and provides relevant, up-to-date information. Feedback from the public 
regarding the NTSB Web site will assist the NTSB in achieving this 
goal.
    Respondents' participation in the survey is voluntary. The survey 
will only be available on the NTSB Web site, and the NTSB has carefully 
reviewed the survey to ensure that it has used plain, coherent, and 
unambiguous terminology in its requests for information and feedback. 
The survey is not duplicative of other agencies' collections of 
information. The survey will consist of seven questions, and imposes 
minimal burden on respondents: The NTSB estimates that respondents will 
spend approximately 10 minutes in completing the survey. The NTSB 
estimates that approximately 100 respondents will participate in the 
survey.
