Written comments and suggestions from 

the public and affected agencies should 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension, Without Change, of 

a Currently Approved Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback 

through Focus Groups. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: No Agency 

Form Number; U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS). 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit. 

The information collection activity will 

garner qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By 

qualitative feedback USCIS means 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but not responses to statistical surveys 

that yield quantitative results that can 

be generalized to the population of 

study. This feedback will provide 

information on customer and 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences 

and expectations, provide an early 

warning of issues with service, and/or 

focus attention on areas where 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders and contribute directly to 

the improvement of program 

management. Feedback collected under 

this generic clearance will provide 

useful information, but it will not be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This data collection will not be used to 

generate quantitative information that is 

designed to yield reliably actionable 

results, such as monitoring trends over 

time or documenting program 

performance. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 3000 respondents × 1.5 hours 

per response. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total estimated annual 

hour burden associated with this 

collection is 4,500 hours. 

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collection: The estimated total annual 

cost burden associated with this 

collection of information is $0.
