Summary Form Under Review

    Title of Collection: Generic Clearance for the Collection of 
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Agency Form Number: DFC-011.
    OMB Form Number: Not assigned, new information collection.
    Frequency: Once.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions; individuals.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 0.1 to 1 hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 100 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection activity under this clearance 
will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an 
efficient, timely manner. By qualitative feedback the agency means 
information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, 
but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that 
can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will 
provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences 
and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or 
focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in 
operations might improve delivery of products or services. These 
collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable 
communications between the agency and its customers and stakeholders. 
It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement 
of program management.
    Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful 
information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the 
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative 
information will not be used for quantitative information collections 
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as 
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such 
data uses require more rigorous designs.
