The purpose of the Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) /Enterprise Voice of the Customer (EVoC) system is to provide the Defense community with an on-line customer feedback system, replacing the current paper comment cards and other customer satisfaction data collection mediums used by DoD organizations. Members of the public who respond on the ICE system are authorized customers and have been provided a service through DoD customer service organizations. The ICE provides a direct channel for customer needs, complaints, and suggestions in areas such as Education, Housing, Medical Facilities, Pass and ID, and installation shopping centers.
The reduction in burden estimates reflects a more accurate population classification. Specifically, it is now possible to more accurately differentiate between the two populations: members of the public vs. DoD employees. The 2010 OMB submission included DoD Employees in the cost of burden estimate, and that accounts for the large difference between the two submissions.
