SUMMARY: As part of an effort to streamline the process to seek 
feedback from the public on service delivery, DFAS has submitted a 
Generic Information Collection Request (Generic ICR): ``Generic 
Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service 
Delivery '' to OMB for approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title and OMB Number: Generic Clearance for the DFAS Customer 
Satisfaction Surveys; OMB Control Number 0730-0003.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to determine the kind and quality of services DFAS customers want and 
expect, as well as their satisfaction with DFAS's existing services. 
The information collected will be used internally to determine where 
and to what extent services are satisfactory and to identify areas for 
improvement. With the cooperation of the Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM), DFAS conducts annual Customer Satisfaction Surveys of various 
customer populations, expected to number 3 separate annual surveys that 
involve members of the public, administered in May of each year. The 
surveys are the Contractor Survey, Retiree and Annuitant Survey and 
Vendor Pay Survey. In addition, an invitation to complete a brief ad-
hoc survey is sent out to anyone who either accesses the MyPay system 
or interacts with a MyPay representative. Survey respondents under this 
generic clearance may include contractors, vendors, annuitants, and 
retired civil service employers. A 60-day Federal Reserve Notice was 
published on August 2, 2013 (78 FR 46928). No public comments were 
received.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
