    Abstract: The information collection activity provides EPA with an 
opportunity to efficiently engage its customers and stakeholders by 
gathering qualitative information about their current or potential 
future interaction with Agency. Getting such feedback in a timely 
manner is critical if the Agency is to know how and where it should 
focus while seeking to improve, or expand upon, its products and 
services. Following the pathway established by OMB for fast-track 
generic ICRs, the Agency will submit individual requests for specific 
information collections on an as-needed basis. Those requests will 
describe the collection and the public burden created. The Agency will 
submit a collection request for approval under this generic clearance 
only if the collections are: voluntary; low burden and low-cost for 
both the respondents and the federal government; noncontroversial; 
targeted to respondents who have experience with the program or may 
have experience with the program in the near future; and abstain from 
collecting personally identifiable information (PII) to the greatest 
extent possible. Information gathered will be used internally for 
general service improvement and program management purposes and 
released publicly only in an anonymized or aggregated fashion. 
Information gathered will not be used in
