CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION


Notification of Request for Extension of Approval of Information 
Collection Activity--Customer Satisfaction Surveys

AGENCY: Consumer Product Safety Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In the May 29, 2008, Federal Register (73 FR 30883), the 
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or Commission) published a 
notice in accordance with provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) (PRA), to announce the agency's intention 
to seek extension of its PRA approval to conduct surveys to determine 
the kind and quality of services CPSC customers want and customers' 
level of satisfaction with existing services. The Commission now 
announces that it has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request for extension of approval of that collection of 
information.
    These customer surveys are used by the CPSC Office of Financial 
Management, Planning and Evaluation to prepare sections of the agency's 
annual performance plan and accountability report in accordance with 
the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. The information 
from the surveys will provide measures of the quality and effectiveness 
of agency efforts related to three goals in its strategic plan: 
Informing the public, industry services, and customer satisfaction. If 
this information is not collected, the Commission would not have the 
means to measure its effectiveness in providing useful services to 
consumers and others, and lack information necessary to guide program 
development.
