SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Under the PRA and its implementing
regulations (5 CFR part 1320), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
they conduct or sponsor (e.g.,
contractually-required information
collection by a third-party). ‘‘Collection
of information,’’ within the meaning of
the PRA, includes agency requests that
pose identical questions to, or impose
reporting or recording keeping
obligations on, ten or more persons,
regardless of whether response to such
request is mandatory or voluntary. See
5 CFR 1320.3(c); see also 44 U.S.C.
3502(3). Before seeking clearance from
OMB, agencies are generally required,
among other things, to publish a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register
concerning any proposed information
collection—including extension of a
previously-approved collection—and
provide an opportunity for comment.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1).
B. Proposed Renewal of Information
Collection Request
The Access Board is providing notice
of its intent to seek renewal of its
existing generic clearance for the
collection of qualitative feedback with
regard to agency services delivered by
its Office of Technical and Information
Services (OTIS) and Architectural
Barriers Act (ABA) compliance and
enforcement program. To date, we have
found the feedback garnered through
qualitative customer satisfaction surveys
(and similar information collections) to
be beneficial, by providing useful
insights in experiences, perceptions,
opinions, and expectations regarding
Access Board services or focusing
attention on areas in need of
improvement. We thus intend to seek
approval to continue our current efforts
to solicit qualitative customer feedback
by seeking input from customers across
our agency programs and services.
Online surveys will be used unless the
customer contacts the agency by phone
for technical assistance or an individual
otherwise expresses a preference for
another survey format (i.e., fillable form
in portable document format or paper
survey). In addition, paper surveys may
be used to garner feedback from
participants at in-person trainings or
similar events.
OMB Control Number: 3014–0011.

Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Type of Request: Extension without
change.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity facilitates collection
of qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Federal
Government’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information collections 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 will provide
insight 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 services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative, and actionable
communications between the Access
Board and its customers and
stakeholders.

Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals and Households; Businesses
and Organizations; State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Burden Estimates: In the table below
(Table 1), the Access Board provides
estimates for the annual reporting
burden for the information collections
proposed under this renewed generic
information collection request. (The
Access Board does not anticipate
incurring any capital or other direct
costs associated with this information
collection. Nor will there be any costs
to respondents, other than their time.)

Request for Comment: The Access
Board seeks comment on any aspect of
the proposed renewal of its existing
generic clearance for the collection of
qualitative feedback on agency service
delivery, including (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the Access Board’s
performance; (b) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (c) ways for the
Access Board to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
collection; and (d) ways that the burden
could be minimized without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
Comments will be summarized and
included in our request for OMB’s
approval of renewal of our existing
generic clearance.

Interim Executive Director.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Census Bureau plans to request
an extension of the current OMB
clearance for the Quarterly Survey of
Plant Capacity Utilization (SPC). The
SPC is conducted quarterly, collecting
from manufacturing plants and
publishers, the value of actual
production, the value of production that
could have been achieved if operating at
‘‘full production’’ levels, and the value
of production that could have been
achieved if operating at ‘‘national
emergency’’ levels. The survey also
collects data on work patterns by shift.
These data include hours in operations,
production workers, and plant hours
worked.
