National Indian Gaming Commission
has adopted its 2014 final annual fee
rates of 0.00% for tier 1 and 0.070%

on Class II revenues shall be one-half of
the annual fee rate, which is 0.035%
(.00035). The final fee rates being

are adopted.
Pursuant to 25 CFR 514.16, the
National Indian Gaming Commission
has also adopted its fingerprint
processing fees of $22 per card, which

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA)
established the National Indian Gaming
Commission, which is charged with,
among other things, regulating gaming
on Indian lands.
Commission regulations (25 CFR part
514) provide for a system of fee
assessment and payment that is selfadministered by gaming operations.
Pursuant to those regulations, the
Commission is required to adopt and
communicate assessment rates and the
gaming operations are required to apply
those rates to their revenues, compute
the fees to be paid, report the revenues,
and remit the fees to the Commission.
All gaming operations within the
jurisdiction of the Commission are
required to self administer the
provisions of these regulations, and
report and pay any fees that are due to
the Commission.
Pursuant to 25 CFR part 514, the
Commission must also review annually
the costs involved in processing
fingerprint cards and set a fee based on
fees charged by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and costs incurred by the
Commission. Commission costs include

Summary of Proposal:
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 and
timely manner, in accordance with the
Federal Government’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback, the Commission
means information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
and 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
communications between the
Commission and its customers and
stakeholders. They will also contribute

VerDate Mar<15>2010

17:35 Jun 02, 2014

Jkt 232001

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 survey designs
that address the target population to
which generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),

PO 00000

Frm 00067

Fmt 4703

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
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: Businesses and
Organizations.
• Average Expected Annual Number
of Activities: 10.
• Average Number of Respondents
per Activity: 60.
• Annual Responses: 600.
• Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
• Average Minutes per Response: 40.
• Burden Hours: 400.
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

The Department of Justice
(DOJ), Office of Justice Programs, will be
submitting the following information
collection to the Office of Management

approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The
proposed information collection was
previously published in the Federal
Register Volume 79, Number 60, pages
17775–17576, on March 28, 2014,
allowing a 60-day comment period.

SUMMARY:

The subject five-year review
was initiated on March 3, 2014 to
determine whether revocation of the
antidumping duty order on frontseating
service valves from China would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury. On May
14, 2014, the Department of Commerce
published notice that it was revoking
the order effective April 28, 2014,
because ‘‘no domestic interested party
filed a notice of intent to participate in
response to the Initiation Notice by the
applicable deadline.’’ (79 FR 27573).
Accordingly, pursuant to section 751(c)
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.
