Form—Extension OMB No. 0990–0263, 

Assistant Secretary for Health, Office for 

Human Research Protections. 

OMB No.: 0990–0263 

Abstract: The Office for Human 

Research Protections is requesting a 

three year extension of the Protection of 

Human Subjects: Assurance 

Identification/IRB Certification/

Declaration of Exemption Form. That 

form is designed to promote uniformity 

among departments and agencies, and to 

help ensure common means of 

ascertaining institutional review board 

certifications and other reporting 

requirements relating to the protection 

of human subjects in research. The 

Federal Policy for the Protection of 

Human Subjects, known as the Common 

Rule, requires that before engaging in 

non-exempt human subjects research 

that is conducted or supported by a 

Common Rule department or agency, 

each institution must: (1) Hold an 

applicable assurance of compliance 

[Section 103(a)]; and (2) certify to the 

awarding department or agency that the 

application or proposal for research has 

been reviewed and approved by an IRB 

designated in the assurance [Sections 

103(b) and (f)]. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: The information collected 

through the Protection of Human 

Subjects: Assurance Identification/IRB 

Certification/Declaration of Exemption 

Form is the minimum necessary to 

satisfy the assurance and certification 

requirements of Section 491 (a) of the 

Public Health Service Act and HHS 

Regulations for the protection of human 

subjects at 45 CFR 46.103. 

Likely Respondents: Research 

institutions engaged in HHS-conducted 

or -supported research involving human 

subjects. Institutional use of the form is 

also relied upon by other federal 

departments and agencies that have 

codified or follow the Federal Policy for 

the Protection of Human Subjects 

(Common Rule).

OS specifically requests comments on 

(1) the necessity and utility of the 

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and (4) the

Proposed Project 

Generic Clearance for the Collection 

of Qualitative Feedback on Agency 

Service Delivery—NEW—Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

As part of a Federal Government-wide 

effort to streamline the process to seek 

feedback from the public on service 

delivery, the CDC has submitted a 

Generic Information Collection Request 

(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for 

the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 

on Agency Service Delivery ’’ to OMB 

for approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et. 

seq.). 

To request additional information, 

please contact Leroy A. Richardson, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74, 

Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an email to 

omb@cdc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

Abstract: 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 we mean 

information that provides 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, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

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. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance will provide useful 

information, but it will 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 

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 Agency received no comments in 

response to the 60-day notice published 

in the Federal Register on April 30, 

2014 (79 FR 24432). 

This is a new collection of 

information. Respondents will be 

screened and selected from Individuals 

and Households, Businesses, 

Organizations, and/or State, Local or 

Tribal Government. Below we provide 

CDC’s projected annualized estimate for 

the next three years. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time. The 

estimated annualized burden hours for 

this data collection activity are 3,850.
