through Focus Groups.

abstract: Primary: Individuals or

Not-for-profit institutions. Executive
Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to
provide service to the public that
matches or exceeds the best service

to work continuously to ensure that our

Homeland Security/U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services 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. This collection of
information is necessary to enable the
Agency to garner customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with our
commitment to improving service
delivery. The information collected
from our customers and stakeholders
will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying
experience with the Agency’s programs.
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.

respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: The estimated total number of
respondents for this information
collection is 3,000 and the estimated
