below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Office of the Secretary; (2) will this
information be processed and used in a
timely manner; (3) is the estimate of
burden accurate; (4) how might the
Office of the Secretary enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Office of the Secretary
minimize the burden of this collection
on the respondents, including through
the use of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993
(GPRA) (Pub. L. 103–62) requires
agencies to ‘‘improve Federal program
effectiveness and public accountability
by promoting a new focus on results,
service quality, and customer
satisfaction.’’ To fulfill this
responsibility, DOI bureaus and offices
must collect data from their respective
user groups to better understand the
needs and desires of the public and to
respond accordingly. Executive Order
12862 ‘‘Setting Customer Service
Standards’’ also requires all executive
departments to ‘‘survey customers to
determine . . . their level of satisfaction
with existing services.’’ We use
customer satisfaction surveys to help us
fulfill our responsibilities to provide
excellence in government by proactively
consulting with those we serve. This
programmatic clearance provides an
expedited approval process for DOI
bureaus and offices to conduct customer
research through external surveys such
as questionnaires and comment cards.
The proposed renewal covers all of
the organizational units and bureaus in
DOI. Information obtained from
customers by bureaus and offices will be
provided voluntarily. No one survey
will cover all the topic areas; rather,
these topic areas serve as a guide within
which the bureaus and offices will
develop questions. Questions may be
asked in languages other than English

(e.g., Spanish) where appropriate. Topic
areas include:
(1) Delivery, quality and value of
products, information, and services.
Respondents may be asked for feedback
regarding the following attributes of the
information, service, and products
provided:
(a) Timeliness.
(b) Consistency.
(c) Accuracy.
(d) Ease of Use and Usefulness.
(e) Ease of Information Access.
(f) Helpfulness.
(g) Quality.
(h) Value for fee paid for information/
product/service.
(2) Management practices. This area
covers questions relating to how well
customers are satisfied with DOI
management practices and processes,
what improvements they might make to
specific processes, and whether or not
they feel specific issues were addressed
and reconciled in a timely, courteous,
and responsive manner.
(3) Mission management. We will ask
customers to provide satisfaction data
related to DOI’s ability to protect,
conserve, provide access to, provide
scientific data about, and preserve
natural, cultural, and recreational
resources that we manage, and how well
we are carrying out our trust
responsibilities to American Indians.
(4) Rules, regulations, policies. This
area focuses on obtaining feedback from
customers regarding fairness, adequacy,
and consistency in enforcing rules,
regulations, and policies for which DOI
is responsible. It will also help us
understand public awareness of rules
and regulations and whether or not they
are explained in a clear and
understandable manner.
(5) Interactions with DOI Personnel
and Contractors. Questions will range
from timeliness and quality of
interactions to skill level of staff
providing the assistance, as well as their
courtesy and responsiveness during the
interaction.
(6) General demographics. Some
general demographics may be gathered
to augment satisfaction questions so that
we can better understand the customer
and improve how we serve that
customer. We may ask customers how
many times they have used a service,
visited a facility within a specific
timeframe, their ethnic group, or their
race.
All requests to collect information
under the auspices of this proposed
renewal will be carefully evaluated to
ensure consistency with the intent,
requirements, and boundaries of this
programmatic clearance. Interior’s
Office of Policy Analysis will conduct

an administrative and technical review
of each specific request in order to
ensure statistical validity and
soundness. All information collections
are required to be designed and
deployed based upon acceptable
statistical practices and sampling
methodologies, and procedures that
account for and minimize non-response
bias, in order to obtain consistent, valid
data and statistics that are
representative of the target populations.
Title of Collection: DOI Programmatic
Clearance for Customer Satisfaction
Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 1040–0001.
Form Number: DI–4010.
Type of Review: Extension of a

Respondents/Affected Public: DOI
customers. We define customers as
anyone who uses DOI resources,
products, or services. This includes
internal customers (anyone within DOI)
as well as external customers (e.g., the
American public, representatives of the
private sector, academia, other
government agencies). Depending upon
their role in specific situations and
interactions, citizens and DOI
stakeholders and partners may also be
considered customers. We define
stakeholders to mean groups or
individuals who have an expressed
interest in and who seek to influence
the present and future state of DOI’s
resources, products, and services.
Partners are those groups, individuals,
and agencies who are formally engaged
in helping DOI accomplish its mission.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 100,000. We estimate
approximately 50,000 respondents will
submit DOI customer satisfaction
surveys and 50,000 will submit
comment cards.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 100,000.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 15 minutes for a customer
survey; 3 minutes for a comment card.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 15,000.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
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 OMB
control number.
