Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 27, 2017 / Notices 45035 

stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. Qualitative 

feedback is information that provides 

useful insights on perceptions and 

opinions, but is 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 

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 

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; and 

• 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: Extension of 

approval for a collection of information. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

households, businesses and 

organizations, and Tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

105,000. 

Below are projected annual average 

estimates for the next three years: 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

activities: 100. 

Average number of Respondents per 

Activity: 1050. 

Annual responses: 105,000. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average minutes per response: 10. 

Burden hours: 17,500. 

There are no direct costs to 

respondents to report. 

All written comments will be 

available for public inspection on 

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 OMB 

control number. 

Comment Due Date: Your comments 

regarding this information collection are 

best assured of having full effect if 

received within 60 days of the date of 

this publication.
