SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: E-Government Web site
Customer Satisfaction Survey (Formerly
American Customer Satisfaction Index
(ACSI) E-Government Web site
Customer Satisfaction Survey)
OMB Control Number: 1090–0008
Abstract: The proposed renewal of
this information collection provides a
means to consistently assess, benchmark
and improve customer satisfaction with
Federal Agency Web sites within the
Executive Branch. The Federal
Consulting Group of the Department of
the Interior serves as the executive agent
for this methodology and has partnered
with ForeSee Results, Inc., to offer this
assessment to Federal Agencies.
ForeSee Results is a leader in
customer satisfaction and customer
experience management on the web. Its
methodology (Customer Experience
Analytics or CXA) is a derivative of the
most respected, credible, and wellknown measure of customer satisfaction
in the country, the American Customer
Satisfaction Index (ACSI). This
methodology combines survey data and
a patented econometric model to
precisely measure the customer
satisfaction of Web site users, identify
specific areas for improvement and
determine the impact of those
improvements on customer satisfaction
and future customer behaviors.
The ForeSee CXA methodology is the
only cross-agency methodology for
obtaining comparable measures of
customer satisfaction with Federal
Government Web sites. The ultimate
purpose of this methodology is to help
improve the quality of goods and
services available to American citizens,
including those from the Federal
Government.
The E-Government Web site Customer
Satisfaction Surveys will be completed
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974,
Public Law 93–579, December 31, 1974
(5 U.S.C. 522a). The agency information

collection will be used solely for the
purpose of the survey. The contractor
will not be authorized to release any
agency information obtained through
surveys without first obtaining
permission from the Federal Consulting
Group and the participating agency. In
no case will any new system of records
containing privacy information be
developed by the Federal Consulting
Group, participating agencies, or the
contractor collecting the data. In
addition, participating Federal Agencies
may only provide information sufficient
to randomly select Web site visitors as
potential survey respondents.
There is no other agency or
organization able to provide the
information that is accessible through
the surveying approach used in this
information collection. Further, the
information will enable Federal
agencies to determine customer
satisfaction metrics with discrimination
capability across variables. Thus, this
information collection will assist
Federal Agencies in improving their
customer service in a targeted manner
which will make best use of resources
to improve service to the public.
This survey asks no questions of a
sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Current Actions: Proposed renewal of
collection of information.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
Participation by Federal Agencies in the
E-Government Index is expected to vary
as agency Web sites are added or
deleted. However, based on historical
records, projected average estimates for
the next three years are as follows:
Average Expected Annual Number of
Customer Satisfaction Surveys: 225.
Respondents: 1,125,000.
Annual responses: 1,125,000.
Frequency of Response: Once per
survey.
Average minutes per response: 2.5.
Burden hours: 46,875 hours.
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

of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the

unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
