# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 responses.                

## 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.
