AGENCY:

The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public to take this opportunity

the public on service delivery. This
notice announces our intent to submit
this collection to OMB for approval and
solicits comments on specific aspects
for the proposed information collection.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received within 60 days after

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
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
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management

purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does 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 to
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.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Current Actions: Extension of
approval for a collection of information.
Type of Review: Extension.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local, or Tribal
Government.
Below we provide projected average
estimates for the next three years:
Average Expected Annual Number of
activities: 60.
Average Number of Respondents per
Activity: 300.
Annual Responses: 18,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Average Minutes per Response: 5.
Burden Hours: 1,500.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will

be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
All written comments will be
available for public inspection at:
Regulations.gov.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Kennedy Educational
Experiences Program (KEEP) is a job
shadowing program intended to provide
high school and college level students
with a unique opportunity to increase
their awareness of the practical
application of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
careers through a job shadowing
experience under the mentorship of a
NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC)
subject matter expert. Participation in
the program is limited to students who
are U.S. citizens and 16 years of age or
older. Students will submit (1) an
application package that designates
their top three areas of interest
(computer science, environmental
science, engineering, meteorology,
physics, etc.) for the job shadowing
experience and (2) recommendations
from two separate science, math, or
technology teachers associated with
their current school of enrollment.
Students may request a shadowing
opportunity from 1–5 days; however the
exact shadowing time period is based on
the availability of the STEM mentors.
This information collection extension
includes changes to the instruments/
forms for clarity and comprehensibility
and the associated burden hours to read
the instructions, gather the information,
and submit. This 60-day FRN replaces
FRN–2014–02–19.
