Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 156 / Wednesday, August 12, 2020 / Notices
for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between
PBGC and its customers and
stakeholders. These collections also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
The solicitation of feedback targets
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 were not collected,
vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on PBGC’s services would
be unavailable.
PBGC only submits 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 interest.
As noted, feedback collected under
this generic clearance does not produce
results generalizable to the population
of interest. 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. Collections with such
objectives 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.
The collection of information has
been approved by OMB under control
number 1212–0066 (expires October 31,
2020). On May 27, 2020, PBGC
published in the Federal Register (at 85
FR 31824) a notice informing the public
of its intent to request an extension of
this collection of information without
modification. PBGC did not receive any
comments about this collection of
information. PBGC is requesting that
OMB extend its approval for another
three years. 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.
Annually, over the next three years,
PBGC estimates that it will conduct
three activities involving about 1,630
respondents, each of whom will provide
one response. The number of
respondents will vary by activity: 40 for
usability testing, 90 for focus groups
(nine groups of ten respondents), and
1,500 for customer satisfaction surveys.
PBGC estimates the annual burden of
this collection of information as 635
hours: 2 hours per response for usability
testing (total 80 hours); 2 hours per
response for focus groups (total 180
hours); and 15 minutes per response for
customer satisfaction surveys (total 375
hours). No cost burden to the public is
anticipated.
