MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection

AGENCY: Merit Systems Protection Board.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), this notice announces that the Merit Systems Protection Board 
(MSPB) request for a three-year reinstatement of its expired Generic 
Clearance Request for Voluntary Customer Surveys under Executive Order 
12862, ``Setting Customer Service Standards,'' has been forwarded to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The 
original approval for this information collection was provided by OMB 
on February 28, 1994, as a three-year generic clearance request for 
voluntary customer surveys under Executive Order 12862, ``Setting 
Customer Service Standards,'' and in accord with 44 U.S.C. 3506. 
Surveys under this approval are assigned OMB Control Number 3124-0012. 
That approval expired on February 28, 1997. A limited-term approval 
from OMB reinstated that authority through April 30, 2001.
    In this regard, we are soliciting comments on the public reporting 
burden. The reporting burden for the collection of information on this 
form is estimated to vary from 10 minutes to 30 minutes per response, 
with an average of 15 minutes, including time for reviewing 
instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.
