Abstract: The Department seeks an extension without change of a fast track generic clearance information collection request already approved by OMB. Existence of Fast Track option for conducting surveys has caused a sudden increase in number of surveys. OST has already used the 2000 burden hours previously approved. OST requests increasing the total burden hours to 60,000. This collection of information is necessary to enable OST program offices to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with our commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with those program office's programs.
