Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 26, 2020 / Notices

The above information, in
combination with State-required guide
activity reports and contacts with guides
and clients in the field, provides a
comprehensive method for monitoring
permitted commercial guide activities.
A regular program of client evaluation
helps refuge managers detect potential
problems with guide services so that we
can take corrective actions promptly. In
addition, we use this information during
the competitive selection process for big
game and sport fishing guide permits to
evaluate an applicant’s ability to
provide a quality guiding service.
The Service plans to review the
current evaluation form to identify ways
to improve the information collected to:
• Provide more quantifiable and
defensible data;
• Provide statistical data for each
completed and submitted form;
• Provide more quantifiable rather
than qualitative information;
• Translate the client responses into
useful information in order for refuge
management to make informed
decisions.
The Service plans to submit the
updated evaluation form to OMB for
approval to pre-test under the
Department of the Interior Programmatic
Clearance (OMB Control No. 1040–
0001). After conclusion of the pretesting during the calendar year 2020
Alaska guide season, the final
evaluation form will be submitted to
OMB for approval under this collection
for full deployment prior to the calendar
year 2021 Alaska guide season.
Title of Collection: Alaska Guide

Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on February
28, 2020 (85 FR 12010). No comments
were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your

information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: A modern, streamlined and
responsive customer experience means:
Raising government-wide customer
experience to the average of the private
sector service industry; developing
indicators for high-impact Federal
programs to monitor progress towards
excellent customer experience and
mature digital services; and providing

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 166 / Wednesday, August 26, 2020 / Notices
the structure (including increasing
transparency) and resources to ensure
customer experience is a focal point for
agency leadership.
This proposed information collection
activity provides a means to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner in
accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving customer
service delivery as discussed in Section
280 of OMB Circular A–11 at https://
www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/
uploads/2018/06/s280.pdf.
As discussed in OMB guidance,
agencies should identify their highestimpact customer journeys (using
customer volume, annual program cost,
and/or knowledge of customer priority
as weighting factors) and select
touchpoints/transactions within those
journeys to collect feedback.
These results will be used to improve
the delivery of Federal services and
programs. It will also provide
government-wide data on customer
experience that can be displayed on
www.performance.gov to help build
transparency and accountability of
Federal programs to the customers they
serve.
As a general matter, these 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.
The Department of the Interior will
only submit collections if they meet the
following criteria.
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• 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 in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered is intended to
be used for general service improvement
and program management purposes;
• Upon agreement between OMB and
the agency, all or a subset of information
may be released as part of A–11, Section
280 requirements on performance.gov.
Summaries of customer research and

user testing activities may be included
in public-facing customer journey maps;
• Additional release of data must be
done in coordination with OMB.
These collections will allow for
ongoing, collaborative and actionable
communications between the Agency,
its customers and stakeholders, and
OMB as it monitors agency compliance
on Section 280. These responses will
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 services will be
unavailable.
