Commission.

SUMMARY: In the May 29, 2008, Federal 

Register (73 FR 30883), the Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC or 

Commission) published a notice in 

accordance with provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35) (PRA), to announce 

the agency’s intention to seek extension 

of its PRA approval to conduct surveys 

to determine the kind and quality of 

services CPSC customers want and 

customers’ level of satisfaction with 

existing services. The Commission now 

announces that it has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for extension of 

approval of that collection of 

information. 

These customer surveys are used by 

the CPSC Office of Financial 

Management, Planning and Evaluation 

to prepare sections of the agency’s 

annual performance plan and 

accountability report in accordance with 

the Government Performance and 

Results Act of 1993. The information 

from the surveys will provide measures 

of the quality and effectiveness of 

agency efforts related to three goals in 

its strategic plan: Informing the public, 

industry services, and customer 

satisfaction. If this information is not 

collected, the Commission would not 

have the means to measure its 

effectiveness in providing useful 

services to consumers and others, and 

lack information necessary to guide 

program development.
