This submission was established
according to guidance provided in OMB memorandum M-11-26 dated June
15, 2011 for the Fast-Track Process for Collecting Service Delivery
Feedback Under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This collection of
information is necessary to enable the Agency 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 the Agency's programs.
This generic clearance was
approved in February 2023 with 4,200 responses. The NRC staff had
used almost all of these responses within one year of the clearance
approval. As a result, this request approximately triples the
number of requested responses to 13,300 (an increase of 9,100
responses) in order to cover the full three year clearance period.
The burden has been increased from 1087.5 to 2,708 (an increase of
1,620.5 hours). Most of the increase in responses are for very low
burden requests. The largest increases are for the following
activities: • Agency program offices have begun to use mobile
technology to get immediate feedback to promote discussion during
meetings. These “flash” customer feedback surveys typically take
less than one minute and the results are immediately available to
meeting facilitators. The NRC staff has added burden for this type
of feedback, which tends to have high response rates and low
burden. 100 hours and 6,000 responses have been added for this
activity. • Burden estimates for class or event presentation
evaluations has increased. In the last clearance cycle, 690
responses and 138 hours were used for feedback on classroom
evaluations in the first year alone. The NRC staff anticipates
additional burden in this area and has estimated 2,000 responses
and 500 hours for these activities. • In anticipation of future
remote usability studies, the staff added 450 responses and 650
hours for this type of activity. In the previous renewal, no burden
was estimated for these type of studies. Finally, cost estimates
have increased due to a change in the agency’s fee rate from
$288/hr to $300/hr.
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
