Overview of This Information Collection

    Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback 
on Agency Service Delivery.
    OMB Number: 1651-0136.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Current Actions: CBP proposes to extend the expiration date of this 
information collection with a change in burden hours.
    Type of Review: Extension (with change).
    Affected Public: Individuals and Businesses.
    Abstract: Executive Order 12862, Setting Customer Service 
Standards, directs Federal agencies to provide service to the public 
that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private 
sector. Executive Order 14058, Transforming Federal Customer Experience 
and Service Delivery to Rebuild Trust in Government, reiterates that 
Federal agencies should continually improve their understanding of 
their customers and their customer experience challenges. In order to 
work continuously to ensure that our programs are effective and meet 
our customers' needs, CBP seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic 
clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our service 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.
    This collection of information is necessary to enable CBP to garner 
customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in 
accordance with our commitment to improving service delivery. The 
information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help 
ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying 
experience with CBP's programs. 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 CBP and its customers and 
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the 
improvement of program management.
    Type of Information Collection: Customer Feedback.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 620,000.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 620,000.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 51,000.

    Dated: May 20, 2024.

Protection.
