Executive Order 12862 directs Federal
agencies to provide service to the public that matches or exceeds
the best service available in the private sector. In order to work
continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet our
customers’ needs, the Department of Defense (hereafter “the
Agency”) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to
collect qualitative feedback on our 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.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
