[[Page 45646]]

    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
for the Corps to conduct surveys of customers served by our district 
offices, currently a total of 38 offices.
    Only voluntary opinions will be solicited and no information 
requested on the survey instrument will be mandatory. The survey form 
will be provided to the applicants when they receive a regulatory 
product, primarily a permit decision or wetland determination. The 
information collected will be used to assess whether Regulatory 
business practices or policies warrant revision to better serve the 
public. Without this survey the Corps would have to rely on less 
structured, informal methods of obtaining public input. The data 
collection instrument was minimized for respondent burden, while 
maximizing data quality. The following strategies were used to achieve 
these goals:
    1. Questions are clearly written.
    2. The questionnaire is of reasonable length;
    3. The questionnaire includes only items that have been shown to be 
successful in previous analyses and ease in navigation.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for-
profit; not-for-profit institutions; farms; or other agencies who 
receive permits or jurisdictional determinations for the Corps of 
Engineers Regulatory program.
    Annual Burden Hours: 320 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 2000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 0.16 hours.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    The Corps of Engineers is required by three federal laws, passed by 
Congress, to regulate construction-related activities in waters of the 
United States. This customer survey provides feedback on the service 
the public has received from the Regulatory program during their permit 
or jurisdictional determination evaluations.
