Since 49 CFR part 512 does not
require those persons who request
confidential treatment to keep copies of
records or requests submitted to us,
there are no associated recordkeeping
burdens.4
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$165.
The only cost to respondents is
expected to be postage costs. NHTSA
estimates that each mailed response
costs $8.95 (priority flat rate envelope
from USPS). Historically, Part 512
requests were submitted by mail.
However, at the onset of the COVID–19
public health emergency, NHTSA began
accepting Part 512 submissions
electronically and requested that
submissions not be mailed. NHTSA now
estimates that no more than 1% of
submissions are submitted by mail.
Accordingly, NHTSA estimates the total
annual costs for this information
collection to be $186 (2,075 submissions
× .01 × $8.95 = $185.71, rounded to
$186).
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspects 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 to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

abstracted below will be submitted to
the Office of Management and Budget

information by referring to its OMB
Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal
agency must receive approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) before it collects certain
information from the public and a
person is not required to respond to a
collection of information by a Federal
agency unless the collection displays a
valid OMB control number. In
compliance with these requirements,
this notice announces that the following
information collection request will be
submitted OMB.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day comment period soliciting public
comments on the following information
collection was published on January 13,
2022.
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0682.
Form Number: To be determined by
specific collections.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
previously approved information
collection.
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.
• 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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001

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 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.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 20,204.
The 20,204 annual burden hours
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 aspects of this
information collection, including (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
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, 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.
