SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offers the general 
public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on an 
information collection request (ICR) 3206-0252, Program Services 
Evaluation Surveys. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen 
Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection. 
The information collection was previously published in the Federal 
Register on December 26, 2013 at 78 FR 78416 allowing for a 60-day 
public comment period. No comments were received for this information 
collection. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 
days for public comments. The Office of Management and Budget is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until March 31, 
2014. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.

the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management Budget, 725 17th Street NW.,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
leads Federal agencies in shaping human resources management systems to 
effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a high quality and 
diverse workforce. Program services evaluation surveys are valuable 
tools to gather information from our customers so we can design and 
implement new ways to improve our programs to meet their needs. This 
collection request includes surveys that we currently use or plan to 
use during the next three years to measure our ability to deliver 
program services to meet our customer needs. The survey instruments 
include direct mail, telephone contact, focus groups and Web exit 
surveys. Our customers include the general public, Federal benefit 
recipients, Federal agencies and Federal employees. We estimate 12,300 
program services evaluation surveys will be completed in the next 3 
years. The time estimate varies from 1 minute to 40 minutes to 
complete. The estimated burden is 3,755 hours.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Director.
