CMS-10789 Customer Satisfaction Survey for Enterprise Portal Services 
(EPS) Users

    Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain 
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each 
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term 
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies 
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension 
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before 
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this 
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.

Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection Request: New Collection (Request 
for a new OMB control number); Title of Information Collection: 
Customer Satisfaction Survey for Enterprise Portal Services (EPS) 
Users; Use: This EPS customer satisfaction survey will support EADG's 
goal of promoting improvements in the quality of EPS for all end-users 
and business owners. The collection of this information is necessary to 
enable EADG to obtain feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in 
accordance to our commitment to improving the quality and usability of 
our system. It will also allow for ongoing, collaborative, and 
actionable communications between EADG and all customers, stakeholders, 
and end-users.
    The goal of this Generic clearance and its survey is to capture 
feedback from actual users of the system immediately after they finish 
using the system, while their user experience, negative or positive, is 
still fresh in their minds. This user feedback will allow our team to 
discover areas of improvement within EPS. It will help us improve the 
user experience, provide better service/support, improve marketing 
strategies, and identify gaps/issues that require resolution. For 
example, if we get several responses through the collection instrument 
stating that users feel that the EPS system is slow, we can use that 
feedback to invest efforts into increasing the EPS response times. As 
the feedback is analyzed and implemented over time, the survey 
questions will evolve to support implemented changes, providing the EPS 
team with the most up-to-date feedback on system improvement.
    By using a Generic Instrument Collection, the survey will evolve 
over time. Within the CMS EPS, features are frequently added, and 
sometimes even removed. The team needs to be able to add new survey 
questions, specific to those new features, in order to capture valuable 
feedback on the effectiveness, ease-of-use, pain points, and areas of 
improvement for the 2 feature. When features are removed from the CMS 
EPS, questions relevant to those features must be modified or removed 
from the survey as well. In general, given that the CMS EPS is a 
dynamic system, designed to meet enterprise needs that change over 
time, a Generic Instrument Collection will allow the survey to evolve 
as the system evolves, and remain relevant, capturing up-to-date 
feedback on the system. Form Number: CMS-10789 (OMB control number: 
0938-New); Frequency: Quarter; Affected Public: Individuals and 
Households, Private Sector (Business or other for-profits, Not-for-
Profit Institutions); Number of Respondents: 300,000; Total Annual 
Responses: 360,000; Total Annual Hours: 90,000. (For policy questions 
regarding this collection contact Corey L. Redden at 410-279-5152.)
