Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Application Requirements for 

the Low Income Home Energy 

Assistance Program (LIHEAP) 

Residential Energy Assistance Challenge 

Program (REACH) Model Plan. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: States, including the 

District of Columbia, Tribes, Tribal 

organizations and Territories applying 

for LIHEAP REACH funds must submit 

an annual application prior to receiving 

Federal funds. The Human Services 

Amendments of 1994 (Pub. L. 103–252) 

amended the LIHEAP statute to add 

Section 2607B, which established the 

REACH Program. REACH was funded 

for the first time in FY 1996 and is 

intended to: (1) Minimize health and 

safety risks that result from high energy 

burdens on low-income Americans; (2) 

reduce home energy vulnerability and 

prevent homelessness as a result of the 

inability to pay energy bills; (3) increase 

the efficiency of energy usage by lowincome families, helping them achieve 

energy self-sufficiency; and (4) target 

energy assistance to individuals who are 

most in need. 

The REACH Model Plan clarifies the 

information being requested and 

ensures the submission of all the 

information required by statute. The 

form facilitates our response to 

numerous queries each year concerning 

the information that should be included 

in the REACH application. Submission 

of a REACH application and use of the 

REACH Model Plan is voluntary. 

Grantees have the option to use another 

format. 

Respondents: State Governments, 

Tribal governments, Insular Areas, the 

District of Columbia, and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

proposed collection of certain 

information by the agency. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the 

PRA), Federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of an existing collection of 

information, and to allow 60 days for 

public comment in response to the 

notice. This notice solicits comments on 

voluntary customer satisfaction service

12862. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic

www.regulations.gov. Submit written 

comments on the collection of 

information to the Division of Dockets 

Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug 

Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 

1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All 

comments should be identified with the 

docket number found in brackets in the 

heading of this document. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonna Capezzuto, Office of the Chief 

Information Officer (HFA–250), Food 

and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers 

Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–

4659. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, FDA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Customer/Partner Service Surveys 

(OMB Control Number 0910–0360)—

Extension 

Under section 903 of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 

393), FDA is authorized to conduct 

research and public information 

programs about regulated products and 

responsibilities of the agency. Executive 

Order 12862, entitled ‘‘Setting Customer 

Service Standard,’’ directs Federal 

agencies that ‘‘provide significant 

services directly to the public’’ to 

‘‘survey customers to determine the 

kind and quality of services they want 

and their level of satisfaction with 

existing services.’’ FDA is seeking OMB 

clearance to conduct a series of surveys 

to implement Executive Order 12862. 

Participation in the surveys is 

voluntary. This request covers 

customer/partner service surveys of 

regulated entities, such as food 

processors; cosmetic drug, biologic and 

medical device manufacturers; 

consumers; and health professionals. 

The request also covers ‘‘partner’’ (State 

and local governments) customer 

service surveys. 

FDA will use the information from 

these surveys to identify strengths and 

weaknesses in service to customers/ 

partners and to make improvements. 

The surveys will measure timeliness, 

appropriateness and accuracy of 

information, courtesy, and problem 

resolution in the context of individual 

programs. 

FDA estimates conducting 15 

customer/partner service surveys per 

year, each requiring an average of 18 

minutes for review and completion. We 

estimate respondents to these surveys to 

be between 50 and 6,000 customers. 

Some of these surveys will be repeats of 

earlier surveys for purposes of 

monitoring customer/partner service 

and developing long-term data. 

FDA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows:
