SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Information Collection Activities: 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Fast Track Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Qualitative 

Feedback on Agency Service Delivery 

AGENCY: Small Business Administration. 

ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork burden on the 

public the Small Business 

Administration (SBA), announces its 

intent to submit a new generic 

collection of information: ‘‘Fast Track 

Generic Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 

Delivery’’ to the Office of Management 

and Budget for approval. The Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) requires federal 

agencies to publish a notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information 

before submission to OMB and to allow 

60 days for public comment in response 

to the notice. This notice complies with 

that requirement. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

November 27, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Send all comments to Small 

Business Administration, 409 3rd Street, 

7th Floor, Washington, DC 20416. (202) 

205–6981. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amber Chaudhry, Presidential 

Management Fellow, Office of the Chief 

Operating Office, amber.chaudhry@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Fast Track Generic Clearance for 

the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 

on Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Control Number: TBD (New 

Collection). 

Needs and Uses: The proposed 

information collection will provide a 

means to gather qualitative customer 

and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, 

timely manner, in accordance with 

SBA’s commitment to improving service 

delivery. Qualitative feedback means 

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 being 

44866 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 26, 2017 / Notices 

studied. The type of feedback being 

solicited will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, and to 

contribute directly to the improvement 

of program management, provide an 

early warning of service issues, or focus 

attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. 

SBA expects to use various methods 

(e.g., focus groups, customer satisfaction 

surveys, comment cards), to solicit 

public feedback and 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 collection is voluntary; 

The collection is low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and is low-cost for both the 

respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

The collection is non-controversial 

and does not raise issues of concern to 

other Federal agencies; 

The 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; 

Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; 

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 

undertaking 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, the generic 

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. 

Affected Public: Individuals; Business 

or Other For-Profit; Not-For-Profit 

Institutions; State, Local, or Tribal 

Government. 

Estimated Annual Number of 

Respondents: 7,500. 

Projected average burden estimates for 

the next three years: 

Average Annual Number of Collection 

Activities: 8. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 7,500. 

Average Minutes per Response: 38 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,750. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

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.
