of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB Control No.

Extension—Agency for Toxic

(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
This proposed information collection
activity provides a means to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Federal
government’s commitment to improving
service delivery. By qualitative feedback
ATSDR means information that
provides useful insights on perceptions
and opinions, but are not statistical
surveys that yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study. This feedback will
provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences
and expectations, provide an 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. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
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 is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 159 / Friday, August 16, 2024 / Notices
ATSDR will only submit a collection
for approval under this Generic
Clearance if it meets the following
conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do 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
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results. As a general matter,
information collections 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.
This is an extension of the previously
approved collection of 7,075 annualized
burden hours. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time.
