-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the

accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the 
burden of the information collection on respondents, including through 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of

title, by any of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: U.S. Army Corps of 
Engineers Customer Service Survey, ENG Form 5065, OMB Control Number 
0710-0012.
    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; State, local, or tribal 
government.
    Annual Burden Hours: 333 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
    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.
