    Title of Collection: Federal Student Aid User Experience Design 
Research Generic Clearance.
    OMB Control Number: 1845-0159.
    Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved 
ICR.

    Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) seeks an extension of its OMB 
Fast Track Process (5-day) generic clearance to continue to collect 
qualitative feedback for the Next Generation Financial Services 
Environment (Next Gen) program. The Next Gen initiative is a 
comprehensive, FSA-branded customer engagement layer that will create 
an environment where the Department's customers will receive clear, 
consistent information and readily accessible self-service options at 
every stage of the student aid lifecycle. This collection of 
information is necessary to enable FSA to garner customer and 
stakeholder qualitative feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in 
accordance with our commitment to improving service and information 
delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean 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. The insights collected from our customers and 
stakeholders will help ensure that users have a consistent, efficient, 
and satisfying experience with FSA's programs.
