This is a new generic information
collection request seeking approval for three years. The purpose of
the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Customer Participation
and Satisfaction with NIH Programs, Processes, Products, and
Services” is to provide a flexible and timely approval framework
that facilitates the collection of information needed to measure
and improve the performance of NIH programs, processes, products,
or services. Projects under this generic clearance will allow
Agency leadership and program staff to test ideas more quickly,
respond to the project’s needs, incorporate feedback from
participants for flexible, innovative research methods, generate
general-purpose statistics to assess program progress (at both the
IC and NIH program-wide levels), and to provide data that can
inform program evaluation. Collected information will assist with
program planning/management and improve accountability for using
federal funds. Any collection under this umbrella is expected to be
low in burden.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
