Abstract: This is a request for extension of a generic clearance for voluntary customer surveys to be conducted by NOAA program offices. In accordance with Executive Order 12862, the National Performance Review, and good management practices, NOAA offices seek to be able to continue to gather customer feedback on services and/or products, which can be used in planning for service/product modification and prioritization. Under this generic clearance, individual offices would continue use of approved questionnaires and develop new questionnaires, as needed, by selecting subsets of the approved set of collection questions and tailoring those specific questions to be meaningful for their particular programs. These proposed questionnaires would then be submitted through a fast-track request for approval process.

This generic clearance continues to be used for a wide variety of surveys, especially for NWS Web sites; however, also for NWS, a private company is now managing their Web site customer survey. Thus, there are slight decreases in total responses and hours estimated in 2012.
