SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved generic information
collection.
This collection follows the guidelines
contained in the OMB Resource Manual
for Customer Surveys. In accordance
with Executive Order 12862, the
National Performance Review, and good
management practices, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) offices seek
approval to continue to gather customer
feedback on services and/or products
which can be used in planning for
service/product modification and
prioritization. Under this generic
clearance, individual offices would use

approved questionnaires and develop
new questionnaires, as needed, by
selecting subsets of the approved set of
collection questions and tailoring those
specific questions to be meaningful for
their particular programs. These
proposed questionnaires would then be
submitted to OMB using a fast-track
request for approval process, for which
separate Federal Register notices are not
required. Surveys currently typically
include IT and website satisfaction
surveys, Weather Service product
surveys, and National Marine Sanctuary
participation surveys, among others.
This generic clearance will not be
used to survey any bodies NOAA
regulates unless precautions are taken to
ensure that the respondents believe that
they are not under any risk for not
responding or for the contents of their
responses, e.g., in no survey to such a
population will the names and
addresses of respondents be required.
Two sets of survey questions are used
for generation of program-level
questionnaires. Quantitative questions
seek to obtain numerical ratings from
respondents on their satisfaction with
various aspects of the product or service
they obtained—satisfaction with the
quality of the product, the courtesy of
the staff, the format of and
documentation for data received, and
similar standard types of questions. The
offices using such questions are able to
determine which aspects of their
program need improvement or have
improved. Qualitative questions are
more focused on who is using the
product and service, how it is being
used, and the medium or format in
which the respondent would like to see
data provided.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected via
email or online survey.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0342.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
[extension of a current information
collection].
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations; Not-for-profit
institutions; State, Local, or Tribal
government; Federal government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
24,000.
Estimated Time per Response: 5–10
minutes per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 22,500.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
