EO: EO 12862 Name/Subject of EO: Setting Customer Service Standards
The Digital Communications Division (DCD) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA) is responsible for maintaining the HHS premier website, HHS.gov. As such, the DCD has begun the task of totally redesigning the front-end website as well as the back-end architecture to enhance the end-user experience. The DCD will utilize current website surveys to capture user satisfaction as well as future surveys in 3 to 6 month increments to verify the various phases of website redesign are achieving the desired effect for the end-user. In addition, other activities within the Office of the Secretary (OS) of HHS are grouped with ASPA to utilize the same OMB control number for surveys. The other activities within OS are adhering to the GSA mandate to capture user satisfaction for their website information and the services they render. It is for these reasons that we require additional burden hours for OMB control number 0990-0379.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
