52 license (e.g., an early site permit)
and/or NRC’s regulatory approval (e.g.,
a design certification rule) with
specified issue finality provisions. The
staff does not, at this time, intend to
impose the positions represented in this
RG in a manner that is inconsistent with
any part 52 issue finality provisions. If,
in the future, the staff seeks to impose
a position in the regulatory guide
section in a manner which does not
provide issue finality as described in the
applicable issue finality provision, then
the staff must address the criteria for
avoiding issue finality in that issue
finality provision.

OFFICE OF PERSONNEL
MANAGEMENT
Submission for Review: Generic
Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery
U.S. Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: 60-day notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

The Office of Chief
Information Officer, Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) offers the general
public and other Federal agencies the
opportunity to comment on an
information collection request (ICR)
3206–0257, ‘‘Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.’’ As required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter
35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen
Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is soliciting
comments for this collection.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until November 12,
2014. This process is conducted in
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to

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
Office of Personnel Management 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 Office of Personnel
Management’s services will be
unavailable.
The Office of Personnel Management
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.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
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,
