Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments for a reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
AGENCY:

The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) invites
public comments about our intention to
request approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
reinstate a previously approved
information collection. Before a Federal
agency can collect certain information
from the public, it must receive
approval from OMB. Under procedures
established by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), before seeking OMB
approval, Federal agencies must solicit
public comment on proposed
collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatements of
previously approved collections. This
document describes a collection of
information for which NHTSA intends
to seek OMB approval on generic
clearance for qualitative feedback on
agency service delivery.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by March 14, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket No. DOT–NHTSA–
2022–0008 through one of the following
methods:
• Electronic submissions: Go to the

Transportation, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
Please identify the relevant collection of
information by referring to its OMB
Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before an agency
submits a proposed collection of
information to OMB for approval, it
must first publish a document in the
Federal Register providing a 60-day
comment period and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information. The OMB has
promulgated regulations describing
what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB’s regulation (at
5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask
for public comment on the following: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001

of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) how to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) how to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collection of information for which the
agency is seeking approval from OMB.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0682.
Form Number(s): To be determined by
specific collections.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: Executive Order 12862
directs Federal agencies to provide the
highest quality service possible to the
public. This proposed information
collection provides a means to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery.
This feedback collected through this
information collection will provide
insights into customer or stakeholder
perceptions, experiences and
expectations; provide 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. The feedback will allow for
ongoing, collaborative and actionable
communication between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders.
This information collection will also
allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program
management.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collection is voluntary;
• The collection is low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and is low-cost for both the
respondents and the Federal
Government;

PO 00000

Frm 00111

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

• The collection is non-controversial
and does 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 only internally for general
service improvement and program
management purposes and is not
intended for release outside of the
agency (if released, the agency must
indicate the qualitative nature of the
information);
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
As a general matter, information
collections under this request 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.

Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information
Improving agency programs requires
ongoing assessment of service
delivery—systematic review of the
operation of a program compared to a
set of explicit or implicit standards—as
a means of contributing to the
continuous improvement of the those
programs. The Agency will collect,
analyze, and interpret information
gathered through this generic clearance
to identify strengths and weaknesses of
current services and make
improvements in service delivery based
on that feedback. The solicitation of
feedback will target areas such as:
Timeliness, appropriateness, accuracy
of information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information were not collected,
vital feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
would be unavailable and the Agency
would not know if adjustments would
be warranted.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
113,582.
Frequency: On occasion, per request.
Number of Responses: 113,582.

requested are based on the number of
collections we expect to conduct over
the requested period for this clearance.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$0.
Participation in this collection is
voluntary, and there are no costs to
respondents beyond the time spent
participating in the surveys.

Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways f to
