Request is being submitted to
keep existing Generic Clearance on-going, although CIO submitted
revision request with verbiage for additional burden and responses,
it is not clear based on burden table reflected in SSA, 30 day doc
based on hours requested. CIO will need to await further
instruction from OMB desk officer as to whether another revision
request will need to be submitted at a later time. CIO comments:
"Additional burden hours are being requested primarily to reflect
the increase in the number of Center programs due to a
reorganization in 2014, use of electronic survey methods, and
interest in customer input to and satisfaction with websites and
products developed for constituents. Specifically, increases have
resulted in association with use of electronic surveys, which allow
for broader reach at lower survey costs, thus increasing number of
surveys possible for a fixed budget."
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).
