Needs and Uses: The proposed
information collection activity provides
a means to garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in 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
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
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 Agency’s
services will be unavailable.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households; Business or Other ForProfit; Not-For-Profit Institutions;
Farms; Federal Government; State,
Local, or Tribal Government.
