POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Greece—F–16 Sustainment 

The Government of Greece has 

requested the continuation of 

sustainment support for the Hellenic Air 

Force’s F–16 aircraft, which includes 

the Electronic Combat International 

Security Assistance Program; 

International Engine Management 

Program; F–16 Technical Coordination 

Program; and Aircraft Structural 

Integrity Program; aircraft hardware and 

software support; repair and return; 

spare and repair parts; publications and 

technical documentation; support 

equipment; minor modifications; U.S. 

government and contractor technical 

and engineering support services; and 

other related elements of logistics and 

program support. The estimated cost is 

$188 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a North Atlantic 

Treaty Organization (NATO) ally. 

The Government of Greece needs this 

aircraft support to ensure its F–16 fleet 

is properly sustained and modernized to 

maintain interoperability with the 

United States and other NATO 

countries. The continued support and 

maintenance of Greece’s F–16 fleet will 

ensure the effectiveness of its 

capabilities and ability to support future 

contributions to NATO operations. 

The proposed sale of this support will 

not alter the basic military balance in 

the region. 

The principal contractors will be 

Lockheed Martin in Ft Worth, Texas; 

and Northrup Grumman in Baltimore, 

Maryland. There are no known offset 

agreements proposed in connection 

with this potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will not require the assignment of any 

additional U.S. Government or 

contractor representatives to Greece. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Fast Track Generic Clearance for 

the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 

on Agency Service Delivery—Defense 

Centers of Excellence Products. 

Abstract: The proposed information 

collection activity provides a means to 

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. 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as: Timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

will be assessed to plan and inform 

efforts to improve or maintain the 

quality of service offered to the public. 

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 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 2, 2014 / Notices 71405 

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; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

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. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

Current Actions: New collection of 

information. 

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Household. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10,000. 

Below we provide projected average 

estimates for the next three years: 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

activities: 40. 

Average number of Respondents per 

Activity: 250. 

Annual responses: 10,000. 

Frequency of Response: On Occasion/ 

Transaction based. 

Average minutes per response: 10. 

Burden hours: 1,667.7. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. Comments 

are invited on: (a) Whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

All written comments will be 

available for public inspection at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number.
