This is a request for an extension without change for 0925-0668 â Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (NIAID). There are no changes to the purpose/scope of this submission from the previously approved submission. The annual burden hours have been decreased from 48,000 to more accurately reflect anticipated usage. During the first 3 years, NIAID utilized 2,500 burden hours. In an effort to improve usage of the renewal, NIAID has increased awareness of the customer service generic through presentations at multiple Institute-wide forums and utilization of the InsideNIAID electronic newsletter. Based on the interest generated we anticipate using closer to 7530 burden hours at the end of the 3 years.
