Summary of Proposal
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
garner qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner. By qualitative feedback
we mean information that provides

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:14 May 25, 2017

Jkt 241001

useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, and 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. They will also contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. 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.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.

Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does 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 to
fielding the study.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
• Current Actions: Extension of
approval for a collection of information.
• Type of Review: Extension.
• Affected Public: Businesses and
Organizations.
• Average Expected Annual Number
of Activities: 10.
• Average Number of Respondents
per Activity: 60.
• Annual Responses: 600.
• Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
• Average Minutes per Response: 40.
• Burden Hours: 400.
Request for Comments: Comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB approval. Comments
are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means

the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology

information, processing and

information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on September 16, 2016, based on a
complaint filed by Aker BioMarine
Antarctic AS of Lysaker, Norway and
Aker BioMarine Manufacturing, LLC of
Houston, Texas (collectively,
‘‘Complainants’’). 81 FR 63805 (Sept.
16, 2016). The complaint alleges
violations of section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, in the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the
sale within the United States after
importation of certain krill oil products
and krill meal for production of krill oil
products by reason of infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
9,028,877; 9,078,905; 9,072,752;
9,320,765; and 9,375,453. Id. The notice
of investigation names as respondents
Avoca Inc. of Merry Hill, North Carolina
(‘‘Avoca’’) and Olympic Holding AS of
Fosnava˚g, Norway; Rimfrost AS of
Fosnava˚g, Norway; Emerald Fisheries
AS of Fosnava˚g, Norway; Rimfrost USA,
LLC of Merry Hill, North Carolina;
Rimfrost New Zealand Limited of
Nelson, New Zealand; and Bioriginal
Food & Science Corp. of Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan, Canada (collectively,
‘‘non-Avoca Respondents’’). Id. The
Office of Unfair Import Investigations
was not named as a party to the
investigation. Id.
On April 19, 2017, Complainants filed
a motion to terminate the investigation
based on a settlement agreement with
Avoca and the withdrawal of the
complaint as to the non-Avoca
Respondents. Avoca and the non-Avoca
Respondents did not oppose the
termination of the investigation, but
Avoca disputed certain redactions in the
settlement agreement.
On April 24, 2017, the presiding
administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued
an ID, Order No. 14, granting-in-part the

PO 00000

Frm 00126

Fmt 4703

motion to terminate the investigation
based on the withdrawal of the
complaint as to the non-Avoca
Respondents. The ALJ found as to the
non-Avoca Respondents there were no
agreements between the parties
concerning the subject matter of the
investigation. The ALJ also found no
extraordinary circumstances preventing
the termination of the investigation as to
the non-Avoca Respondents and that
termination is in the public interest. No
petitions for review of this ID were filed.
On May 2, 2017, the ALJ issued an ID,
Order No. 16, granting the motion to
terminate the investigation based on a
settlement agreement as to Avoca, thus
terminating the investigation in its
entirety. The ALJ found that the motion
complied with Commission Rule
210.21(b)(1) and that the redactions in
the public version of the settlement
agreement were addressed by a separate
order, Order No. 15. The ALJ also found
that termination was in the public
interest. No petitions for review of this
ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject IDs.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
