SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB Control No.
0923–0047; Expiration Date 12/31/
2018)—Extension—Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR), Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS).
Background and Brief Description
The information collection activity
provides a means to garner qualitative
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Federal
government’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.
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.
ATSDR 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;

PO 00000

Frm 00042

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

8871

• 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 is intended to
be used only internally for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the
agency (if released, the agency must
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
• 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. 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.
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.
This is an extension of the previously
approved collection of 7,075 annualized
burden hours. There is no cost to

require targeted messages before,
during, and after disasters to ensure that
they fully appreciate the risks to their
health and safety and can take measures
to avoid harm. Significant research has
highlighted the unique information
needs for at-risk populations in general,
as well as more specific populations
such as minority communities, limitedEnglish proficiency communities, and
persons with physical or
communication disabilities. However,
there has been minimal translation of
this research into practical tools for
sharing information, nor has the
research been extended to the families
of children and youth with special
heath care needs.
Research has also shown that families
and individuals are more likely to
prepare for emergencies or follow
health-related emergency directives
when the information comes from a
health care professional, particularly
someone engaged in their care. There is
very little information about the
capacity of these trusted sources to
reach at-risk individuals during
disasters, or their coordination into
government risk communication efforts.
Finally, although social media is used
by at-risk populations on a daily basis,
relatively little is known about how
these populations use social media
during disasters, as the majority of the
studies analyzing channels used by atrisk populations were completed before
the widespread use of social media in
disasters.
This study will utilize a multi-tiered,
mixed methods approach to data
collection to study the communication
needs of two target populations during
disasters: Families with children and
youth with special health care needs
(CYHCN); and individuals with Autism
Spectrum Disorders (ASD), as well as
families with children who have Autism
Spectrum Disorders.
