Title: COMPASS Portal Customer Satisfaction Assessment
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 02/07/2008
	Date Received in OIRA: 07/12/2007
Terms of Clearance: OMB is granting an 18-month approval of this survey. The requested three-year approval is not granted because DOT improperly answered “no” to the question, “Does this IC contain surveys, censuses, or employ statistical methods?” and did not complete Part B of the Supporting Statement. In its next submission, DOT must complete Part B and describe and justify the survey methodology so that OMB can properly assess the practical utility of the information DOT collects. DOT should also remove the cost burdens because they are a monetization of the burden hours. The agency is reminded to avoid such double-counting of burden.
