SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: ``Evaluation of User Satisfaction with NAL websites.''
OMB Number: 0518-0040.
Expiration Date: N/A.
Type of Request: Approval for renewed data collection.
Abstract: The National Agricultural Library (NAL) serves as the
primary agricultural information resource for the United States. To
fulfill its mission and comply with federal directives, NAL must ensure
that its digital services are accessible, clear, and user-friendly.
This effort aligns with Executive Order 14338, Improving Our Nation
Through Better Design, which directs agencies to modernize the design
and usability of public-facing services, including websites, to deliver
experiences that are efficient, intuitive, and trustworthy and the OMB
Circular A-11, Section 280 (Managing Customer Experience and Improving
Service Delivery).
The proposed research will collect feedback from customers and
stakeholders to evaluate whether NAL's websites and digital services
are easy to access, clear, and useful; determine if content is
presented in an appropriate format that meets user needs; and identify
trends in user perceptions and expectations to guide improvements in
service delivery.
Method of Collection and Burden Estimate:
Data will be collected via short online surveys, estimated to take
8 minutes or less per respondent (actual time may vary). Surveys are
designed to minimize burden while capturing actionable insights.
Respondents: The agricultural community, USDA personnel and their
cooperators, and including public and private users or providers of
agricultural information.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,140 per year.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 419 hours.
Collecting this feedback is essential to ensure NAL's services meet
user needs and expectations, support data-driven decisions for design
and technology improvements, and advance the federal goal of delivering
modern, user-centered digital experiences.
Comments should be sent to the address in the preamble.
Mari Gomez,
ARS Chief of Staff.
