Notice and request for
comments.

ACTION:

This notice announces that
the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC or
Commission) is submitting a request for
a three-year approval, under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), of a revision to the current
Generic Clearance for the Collection of
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service
Delivery that the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) previously approved.
This collection is part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process to seek feedback from the
public on service delivery.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be submitted on or before April 2,
2021.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open
for Public Comments’’ or by using the
search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
government’s commitment to improving
service delivery. By qualitative feedback
we mean information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and
opinions, but 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, course materials, course
instructor, 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.
The Agency 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;
• The collections are the only way to
collect information; there are no
alternative existing sources.
• 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;
• 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 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.
Pursuant to the PRA and OMB
regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the EEOC
has solicited public comment on its
intent to seek a three-year approval of
this revised collection: (1) Evaluate
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the EEOC’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the
accuracy of the EEOC’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 the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
One comment was received from the
public in response to the 60-day notice
published in the Federal Register of
November 18, 2020 (85 FR 73479). The
comment raised concerns regarding
prospective employers requesting a
transgender person’s previous name(s)
prior to their gender transition.
Information regarding a person’s
previous name(s) is not requested as
part of the EEOC’s information
collections of customer and stakeholder
feedback on Agency service delivery.
Accordingly, no changes have been
made to the Generic Clearance based
upon this comment.
In addition to clearance hours for the
previously approved customer feedback
forms, the EEOC requested an additional
39,716 clearance hours. Most of these
requested hours–39,116–are for a
randomly-generated, pop-up form that
will solicit feedback from a sample of
visitors to the EEOC website on the
contents and performance of the web
pages. The 39,116 hours burden
estimate is based on the number of web
page views in a year. The remaining 600
hours represent a reserve to cover any
additional feedback forms that may be
developed over the next three years for
new trainings offered by the EEOC. The
EEOC anticipates any new potential
feedback forms will be similar in length
and content to existing feedback forms.
The EEOC is seeking clearance for the
additional hours so the EEOC can use
the existing clearance number if the
need arises for additional training and
feedback forms.

Benefit Program, which is administered
by USAC under the direction of the
FCC. More information about this
program is provided in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
below.
DATES: Written comments are due on or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
(EBBP) was established by Congress in
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat.
1182. EBBP is a program that will help
low-income Americans obtain
discounted broadband service and onetime co-pay for a connected device
(laptop, desktop computer or tablet).
This program was created specifically to
assist American families’ access to
broadband, which has proven to be
essential for work, school, and
healthcare during the public health
emergency that exists as a result of
COVID–19. A household may qualify for
the EBBP benefit under various criteria,
including an individual qualifying for
the FCC’s Lifeline program.
In a Report and Order adopted on
March 31, 2016 (81 FR 33026, May 24,
2016), the Commission ordered USAC to
create a National Lifeline Eligibility
Verifier (‘‘National Verifier’’), including
the National Lifeline Eligibility Database
(LED), that would match data about
Lifeline applicants and subscribers with
other data sources to verify the
eligibility of an applicant or subscriber.
The Commission found that the
National Verifier would reduce
compliance costs for Lifeline service
providers, improve service for Lifeline
subscribers, and reduce waste, fraud,
and abuse in the program. The
