SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: The proposed information 

collection activity provides a means to 

collect qualitative customer and 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. 

Qualitative feedback means data that 

provide useful insights on perceptions 

and opinions, but are not statistical 

surveys that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. This feedback will 

provide insights into customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences 

and expectations. This feedback also 

provides an early warning of issues with 

service, or focuses attention on areas 

where communication, training or 

changes in operations might improve 

the accuracy of data reported on survey 

instruments or the delivery of products 

or services. These collections will allow 

for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: The target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results.

the Federal Register of December 4,

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filing. Please file motions to 

intervene, protests, comments, or 

recommendations using the 

Commission’s eFiling system at http://

www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. 

Commenters can submit brief comments 

up to 6,000 characters, without prior 

registration, using the eComment system 

at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/

ecomment.asp. You must include your 

name and contact information at the end 

of your comments. For assistance, 

please contact FERC Online Support at 

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, (866) 

208–3676 (toll free), or (202) 502–8659 

(TTY). In lieu of electronic filing, please 

send a paper copy to: Secretary, Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

The first page of any filing should 

include docket number P–2777–123. 

The Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure require all intervenors 

filing documents with the Commission 

to serve a copy of that document on 

each person whose name appears on the 

official service list for the project. 

Further, if an intervenor files comments 

or documents with the Commission 

relating to the merits of an issue that 

may affect the responsibilities of a 

particular resource agency, they must 

also serve a copy of the document on 

that resource agency. 

k. Description of Request: Idaho 

Power Company (IPC) filed a five-year 

compliance report for the project’s 

approved land management plan as well 

as proposed updates to the existing 

plan. Updates include new land-use 

classification maps based off previously 

approved changes and modifications to 

the use classification of private boat 

docks on conservation and agriculture/ 

grazing land. IPC proposes to change the 

classification of private boat docks to 

‘‘conditional’’ in both conservation and 

agriculture/grazing land-use areas, 

which are currently listed as allowed 

and prohibited, respectively. To remain 

consistent across projects, IPC proposes 

the modification due to changes in land 

ownership and land use patterns from 

open-range grazing to private/ruralresidential uses in the project area, as 

well as at this and several other IPC 

projects. IPC states that by listing 

private boat docks as conditional it 

would review all applications to ensure 

the proposal does not have adverse 

resource effects. Additionally, all dock 

applications would be required to meet 

the IPC’s existing boat dock standards 

and applicants would be required to 

obtain the required state and federal 

permits and consult with specified 

resource agencies. 

l. Locations of the Application: A 

copy of the application is available for 

inspection and reproduction at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room,
