National Institutes of Health 

Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment 

Request: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery (NICHD) 

AGENCY: National Institutes of Health, 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Eunice Kennedy Shriver 

National Institute of Child Health and 

Human Development, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent burden, invites the 

general public to take this opportunity 

to comment on the ‘‘Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery ’’ 

for approval under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA). This collection 

was developed as part of a Federal 

Government-wide effort to streamline 

the process for seeking feedback from 

the public on service delivery. This 

notice announces our intent to submit 

this collection to OMB for approval and 

solicits comments on specific aspects 

for the proposed information collection. 

DATES: Comments regarding this 

information collection are best assured 

of having their full effect if received 

within 60 days of the date of this 

publication. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

obtain a copy of the data collection 

plans and instruments, submit 

comments in writing, or request more 

information on the proposed project, 

contact: Dr. Jennifer Guimond, Project 

Clearance Liaison, Office of Science 

Policy, Reporting, and Program 

Analysis, Eunice Kennedy Shriver 

National Institute of Child Health and 

Human Development, National 

Institutes of Health, 31 Center Drive, 

Room 2A18, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 

or call non-toll-free number (301) 496– 

1877 or Email your request, including 

your address to: Jennifer.guimond@

nih.gov. Formal requests for additional 

plans and instruments must be 

requested in writing. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 requires: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies are invited 

to address one or more of the following 

points: (1) Whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

function of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Proposed Collection Title: Generic 

Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery (NICHD), 0925–0643, 

Expiration Date 10/31/2014, 

EXTENSION, Eunice Kennedy Shriver 

National Institute of Child Health and 

Human Development (NICHD), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: There are no changes being 

requested for this submission. 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 information 

about the NICHD’s 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 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 165 / Monday, August 28, 2017 / Notices 40779 

NICHD 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 NICHD’s services 

will be unavailable. 

The NICHD 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 

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. 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

4,950.
