Abstract: OMB 2133–0546 (Generic Clearance Customer Satisfaction Surveys) is necessary to enable MARAD to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient and timely manner, in accordance with our commitment to improve service delivery. The collected information will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with the agency's programs. This feedback will also provide insight into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations. This collection is also intended to provide early warning about issues with service delivery, or focus attention on areas where communication, training, and/or changes in operations might improve customer service experience. Additionally, this collection will facilitate ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communication between MARAD and its customers and stakeholders. Public feedback is also expected to contribute directly to the improvement of program operations that directly affect the public.
