SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor (DOL) 

conducts a variety of voluntary 

Customer Satisfaction Surveys of 

regulated/non-regulated entities, which 

are specifically designed to gather 

information from a customer’s 

perspective as prescribed by E.O. 12862, 

Setting Customer Service Standards, 

September 11, 1993. These Customer 

Satisfaction Surveys provide 

information on customer attitudes about 

the delivery and quality of agency 

products/services and are used as part 

of an ongoing process to improve DOL 

programs. This generic clearance allows 

agencies to gather information from both 

Federal and non-Federal users. 

In addition to conducting Customer 

Satisfaction Surveys, the Department 

also includes the use of evaluation 

forms for those DOL agencies 

conducting conferences. These 

evaluations are helpful in determining 

the success of the current conference, in 

developing future conferences, and in 

meeting the needs of the Department’s 

product/service users. 

II. Current Actions 

Over the past three years the DOL has 

conducted more than two dozen 

customer satisfaction surveys and 

conference evaluations, which have 

helped assess the Department’s products 

and services and has led to 

improvements in areas deemed 

necessary. Office of Management and 

Budget approval for this collection of 

information expires September 30, 2009. 

DOL proposes to seek continued 

approval for this collection of 

information for an additional three 

years. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Agency: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Administration and 

Management.

The National Endowment for the Arts 

enriches our nation and its diverse 

cultural heritage by supporting works of 

artistic excellence, advancing learning 

in the arts, and strengthening the arts in 

communities throughout the country. 

With the advice of the National 

Council on the Arts and advisory 

panels, the Chairman establishes 

eligibility requirements and criteria for 

the review of applications for funding. 

Section 959(c) of the Endowment’s 

enabling legislation, as amended, directs 

the Chairman to utilize advisory panels 

to review applications and to make 

recommendations to the National 

Council on the Arts, which in turn 

makes recommendations to the 

Chairman. 

The legislation requires the Chairman 

‘‘(1) To ensure that all panels are 

composed, to the extent practicable, of 

individuals reflecting a wide 

geographic, ethnic, and minority 

representation as well as to (2) ensure 

that all panels include representation of 

lay individuals who are knowledgeable 

about the arts * * *’’ In addition, the 

membership of each panel must change 

substantially from year to year and each 

individual is ineligible to serve on a 

panel for more than 3 consecutive years. 

To assist with efforts to meet these 

legislated mandates regarding 

representation on advisory panels, the 

endowment has established an 

Automated Panel Bank System (APBS), 

a computer database of names, 

addresses, areas of expertise and other 

basic information on individuals who 

are qualified to serve as panelists for the 

Arts Endowment. 

The Panelist Profile Form, for which 

clearance is requested, is used to gather 

basic information from qualified 

individuals recommended by the arts
