Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 
on Agency Service Delivery.
    OMB No.: 0970-0401.
    Description: Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to 
provide service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service 
available in the private sector. In order to work continuously to 
ensure that the Administration for Children and Families' programs are 
effective and meet our customers' needs we use a generic clearance 
process to collect qualitative feedback on our service delivery. This 
collection of information is necessary to enable ACF to garner customer 
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient timely manner, in accord with 
our commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected 
from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an 
effective, efficient and satisfying experience with the programs. This 
feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder 
perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of 
issues with service,

or focus attention on areas where communication, training or change in 
operation might improve delivery of products or services. These 
collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable 
communications between ACF and its customer and stakeholders. It will 
also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of 
program management.
    This request is an extension of the ``generic fast-track'' process 
offered to all government agencies by OMB in 2010. Fast-track means 
each request receives approval five days after submission, if no issues 
are brought to ACF's attention by OMB within the five days.
