SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 
on Agency Service Delivery.
    Abstract: The information collection activity will consist of a 
variety of service delivery-focused activities over the next few years 
including consumer outreach and information-sharing with stakeholders 
that are responsive to stakeholders' needs and sensitive to changes in 
the consumer market. The proposed information collection activity will 
use similar methods for information collection or otherwise share 
common elements, and provide a means to gather qualitative customer and 
stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner. By qualitative 
feedback we mean information that provides useful information on 
perceptions and opinions. The solicitation of information on delivery 
of consumer services will address such areas as appropriate messages, 
effective message delivery methods, and current consumer beliefs, 
psychographics and social norms that will assist the OCO in developing 
an outreach and communications campaign designed to change consumer 
behavior. Since these systems will use similar methods for information 
collection or otherwise share common elements, the OCO is proposing a 
generic clearance for this process which will allow the OCO to 
implement these systems and meet the obligations of the PRA without the 
delays of the normal clearance process.
    Burden statement: The preliminary estimate of aggregate burden for 
this generic clearance follows. Since the statutory mandate behind the 
OCO's consumer outreach is new, the estimate of the number of 
respondents is a projection and could change significantly based on the 
collection method ultimately used in the research.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: 240.
    Estimated number of responses: 10 per year.
    Estimated total annual burden on respondents: 2,400 responses.
    Frequency of collection: once per request.
    Average minutes per response: 120 minutes.
    Estimated total annual burden hours requested: 4,800 hours.

    Dated: April 3, 2013.
Melissa D. Jurgens,
Secretary of the Commission.
