Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery
As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek
feedback from the public on service
delivery, AHRQ has submitted a Generic
Information Collection Request (Generic
ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery’’ to OMB for
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et.
seq.). The information collection
activity will gather qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery.
Qualitative feedback is information
that provides useful insights on
perceptions and opinions, but is 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. The feedback will
contribute directly to the improvement
of program management. The current
clearance was approved on November
11, 2014 (OMB Control Number 0935–
0179) and will expire on November 30,
2017.
Below we provide AHRQ’s projected
average annual estimates for the next
three years:
Current Actions: New collection of
information.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Average Expected Annual Number of
activities: 10.
Respondents: 10,900.
Annual responses: 10,900.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
The total number of respondents
across all 10 activities in a given year is
10,900.
Average minutes per response: 19.
Burden hours: 3,452.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.
Request for Comments
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, comments on AHRQ’s
information collection are requested
with regard to any of the following: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of AHRQ health care
research and health care information
dissemination functions, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
AHRQ’s estimate of burden (including
hours and costs) of the proposed
collection(s) of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information upon the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the Agency’s subsequent
request for OMB approval of the
proposed information collection. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.

Proposed Project

of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB Control No.

Revision—Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC), National Center
for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and
TB Prevention (NCHHSTP).
Background and Brief Description
The information collection activity
will 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.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic

clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: the
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely

to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
This is a revision to the previously
approved collection to reduce the
burden hours from 12,400 to 9,690
hours as a result of the previous usage
and anticipated future usage of this
Generic Information Collection.
Respondents will be screened and
selected from Individuals and
Households, Businesses, Organizations,
and/or State, Local or Tribal
Government. Below we provide CDC’s
projected annualized estimate for the
next three years. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection activity are 9,690.
