SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not 
conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on 
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements 
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public 
understand our information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format.
    We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection 
of information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The Office of Management and Budget regulation at 5 CFR 
1320, which implements the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), requires that interested members of the 
public and affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on 
information collection and recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)]. The Office of Employee Development, Federal Consulting 
Group has submitted a request to Office of Management and Budget to 
renew its approval of this collection of information for three years.
    This information collection activity provides a means to 
consistently assess, benchmark, and improve customer satisfaction with 
Federal government agency websites within the Executive Branch. The 
Federal Consulting Group of the Department of the Interior serves as 
the executive agent for this assessment to federal agencies.
    The Website Satisfaction Surveys will be completed subject to the 
Privacy Act of 1974, Public Law 93-579, December 31, 1974 (5 U.S.C. 
522a). The agency information collection will be used solely for the 
purpose of the survey. The contractor will not be authorized to release 
any agency information upon completion of the survey without first 
obtaining permission from the Federal Consulting Group and the 
participating agency. In no case shall any new system of records 
containing privacy information be developed by the Federal Consulting 
Group, participating agencies, or the contractor collecting the data. 
In addition, participating Federal agencies may only provide 
information used to randomly selected respondents from among 
established systems of records provided for such routine uses.
    There is no other agency or organization able to provide the 
information accessible through the surveying approach used in this 
information collection. Further, the information will enable Federal 
agencies to determine customer satisfaction metrics with discrimination 
capability across variables. Thus, this information collection will 
assist Federal agencies in making the best use of resources in a 
targeted manner to improve service to the public.
    This survey asks no questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, or other matters that are 
commonly considered private.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it is operating under 
a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number. The 
Office of Management and Budget control number for this collection is 
1090-0008. The control number will be displayed on the surveys used. 
For expeditious administration of the surveys, the expiration date will 
not be displayed on the individual instruments. Response to the surveys 
is voluntary.
    Title of Collection: website Satisfaction Surveys.
    OMB Control Number: 1090-0008.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals, Business, and State, 
Local, or Tribal Governments who have utilized Federal Government 
services.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Participation by Federal 
agencies will vary as new websites are added or deleted. However, based 
on our experience from the previous three-year approval period, the 
number of surveys has been very consistent with little change and 
estimate for the next three years are as follows:
    Average Expected Annual Number of Customer Satisfaction Surveys: 
250 with 5,000 respondents per survey.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,250,000 Responses.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 60,764 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Frequency of Collection: Once per survey.
    Total Estimated Annual Non hour Burden Cost: None.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to

respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
