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.
