The IRS is requesting approval to
conduct 41 specific customer satisfaction and opinion surveys,
which will allow us to continue to use a data-driven approach to
understanding customer satisfaction at the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS). Collecting, analyzing, and using customer opinion data is a
vital component of IRS's Balanced Measures Approach, as mandated by
Internal Revenue Service Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 and
Executive Order 12862.
IRS is requesting a three-year
approval to conduct specific customer satisfaction and opinion
surveys, which will allow the agency to continue to use a
data-driven approach to understanding customer satisfaction at the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Collecting, analyzing, and using
customer opinion data is a vital component of IRS's Balanced
Measures Approach, as mandated by Internal Revenue Service Reform
and Restructuring Act of 1998 and Executive Order 12862. These
surveys have been originally approved under the 1545-1432 OMB
approval number. This new grouping of surveys will result in a
lowering of the burden potentially associated with the 1545-1432
approval number and an increase of 34,945 hours and 568,392
estimated annual responses, for this new approval number.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
