Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery;
(3) Type of Request: Three-year
extension;
(4) Purpose: This information
collection activity provides a means to
collect qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. Qualitative
feedback means data that provide 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 provides insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences, and expectations. It also
provides an early warning of issues with
service, or focuses attention on areas
where communication, training or
changes in operations might improve
the accuracy of data report on survey
instruments or the delivery of products
or services. These collections allow for
ongoing, collaborative and actionable
communications between the agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
also allows feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management. The solicitation of
feedback on Agency Service Delivery
includes topics such as: timeliness of
publishing, understanding of questions
and terminology used in EIA products,
perceptions on data confidentiality and
security, appropriateness and relevancy
of information published, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
are assessed to plan and inform efforts
to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. EIA will
only submit a collection for approval
under this generic clearance if it meets
the following conditions:
• 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 (if released,
procedures outlined in Question 16 will
be followed);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
• 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;
• 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

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; and
• With the exception of information
needed to provide remuneration for
participants of focus groups and
cognitive laboratory studies, personally
identifiable information (PII) is
collected only to the extent necessary
and is not retained.
If these conditions are not met, EIA
will submit an information collection
request to OMB for approval through the
normal PRA process. The solicitation of
feedback on Agency Service Delivery
includes topics such as: timeliness of
publishing, understanding of questions
and terminology used in EIA products,
perceptions on data confidentiality and
security, appropriateness and relevancy
of information published, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
are assessed to plan and inform efforts
to improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. Advances
in technology and service delivery
systems in the private sector, have
increased the public’s expectations of
the Government’s customer service
promise. The Federal Government has a
responsibility to streamline and make
more efficient its service delivery to
better serve the public.

Respondents: 241,800;

estimates that there are no additional
costs to respondents associated with
these qualitative studies other than the
costs associated with the burden hours.
