Jkt 232001

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
DOL Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery. The
information collection activity will
garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations; provide
an early warning of issues with service;
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes, in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative,
and actionable communications
between the DOL and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data

that can be generalized to the overall
population. 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
fielding 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.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1225–0088.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2014. The DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
March 28, 2014 (79 FR 17578).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including

practical utility;

clarity of the information to be
collected; and

collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Office of
Diversity and Equal Opportunity and
the Office of Procurement, in
accordance with Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of
1975, requires grant awardees to submit
an assurance of non-discrimination
(NASA Form1206) as part of their initial
grant application package. The
requirement for assurance of nondiscrimination compliance associated
with federally assisted programs is long
standing, derives from civil rights
implementing regulations, and extends
to the grant recipient’s sub-grantees,
contractors, successors, transferees, and
assignees. Grant selectees are required
to submit compliance information
triennially when their award period
exceeds 36 consecutive months. This
information collection will also be used
to enable NASA to conduct post-award
civil rights compliance reviews.
