DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Transportation Security Administration 

Intent To Request Renewal From OMB 

of One Current Public Collection of 

Information; Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery 

AGENCY: Transportation Security 

Administration, DHS. 

ACTION: 60-day notice. 

SUMMARY: The Transportation Security 

Administration (TSA) invites public 

comment on one currently approved 

Information Collection Request (ICR), 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number 1652–0058, 

abstracted below that we will submit to 

OMB for renewal in compliance with 

the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). 

The ICR describes the nature of the 

information collection and its expected 

burden. The information collection 

activity provides a means to gather 

qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner, 

in accordance with the Administration’s 

commitment to improving service 

delivery. 

DATES: Send your comments by April 

11, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be emailed 

to TSAPRA@dhs.gov or delivered to the 

TSA PRA Officer, Office of Information 

Technology (OIT), TSA–11, 

Transportation Security Administration, 

601 South 12th Street, Arlington, VA 

20598–6011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christina A. Walsh at the above address, 

or by telephone (571) 227–2062. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments Invited 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.), an agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a valid OMB control 

number. The ICR documentation is 

available at http://www.reginfo.gov. 

Therefore, in preparation for OMB 

review and approval of the following 

information collection, TSA is soliciting 

comments to— 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

information requirement 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; 

(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 using 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Information Collection Requirement 

OMB Control Number 1652–0058; 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery. The information collection 

activity provides a means to gather 

qualitative customer and stakeholder 

feedback in an efficient, timely manner, 

in accordance with the Administration’s 

commitment to improving service 

delivery. 

From the TSA perspective, qualitative 

customer and stakeholder feedback is 

information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions; it 

is different than the results of statistical 

surveys, which yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. This qualitative 

feedback provides insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences, and expectations regarding 

TSA products or services, provides TSA 

with an early warning of issues with 

service, and focuses attention on areas 

where improvement is needed regarding 

communication, training, or changes in 

operations that might improve delivery 

of products or services. These 

collections allow for ongoing, 

collaborative, and actionable 

communications between the Agency 

and its customers and stakeholders. 

They also allow feedback to contribute 

directly to the improvement of program 

management. The solicitation of 

feedback targets areas such as: 

timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

are assessed to plan and inform efforts 

to improve or maintain the quality of 

service offered by TSA. If this 

information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on the Agency’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The Agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary. 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government. 

• The collections are 

noncontroversial and do not raise issues 

of concern to other Federal agencies. 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future. 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained.
