collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of 
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (NCI), 0925-0642, 
Expiration Date 03/31/2026, EXTENSION, National Cancer Institute (NCI), 
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This activity collects 
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback efficiently and timely, 
per the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. This 
generic provides information about the National Cancer Institute's 
customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations 
provides an early warning of service issues, or focuses on areas where 
communication, training, or operations changes might improve product or 
service delivery. It also allows feedback to contribute directly to the 
improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this 
generic clearance provides valuable information but will not yield data 
that can be generalized to the overall population.
    OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized 
burden hours are 9,337 hours.
