Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 1525-0012)


Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: AE 2019 Silver Enhanced Proof Coin survey


PURPOSE:


This collection request is for the United States Mint to conduct onsite interviews at the 2019 Baltimore Winter Expo with attendees who are purchasing the American Eagle Silver Enhanced Proof Coin. The research will provide opportunities to collect insight on product satisfaction and other key aspects on how to improve the products and services the Mint offers.


The information gathered from these interviews will also provide guidance and direction for improving customer satisfaction with products and services in FY20 and beyond. The research will help us better understand and serve the needs of customers, and non-customers who express an interest in our products, and help to ensure we carry out our mandate effectively and efficiently.


Part of the United States Mint’s mission is to produce and make collectible coin products available directly to the American public. Executive Order No. 12862 (September 1993), titled “Setting Customer Service Standards,” establishes a mandate for the government to improve and adhere to best practices when providing customer service directly to the American people, such as by conducting research to determine satisfaction with existing services and to ensure the kind and quality of services offered are aligned with those the public wants (Section 1b). To effectively accomplish these goals, the United States Mint utilizes a combination of accepted research methods that shed light on the awareness, satisfaction and preferences among the public as they relate to collectible coin products and services. The United States Mint Convention Intercept Interviews will be used as one of these research methods.


The consequence of not performing this collection is the United States Mint’s diminished ability to attract new customers and maintain current service levels that satisfy current customers.
