Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery-NEW-Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR).
[[Page 70781]]
As part of a Federal Government-wide effort to streamline the
process to seek feedback from the public on service delivery, the ATSDR
has submitted a Generic Information Collection Request (Generic ICR):
``Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery'' to OMB for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
To request additional information, please contact Kimberly S. Lane,
Reports Clearance Officer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an email to
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely
manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving
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 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 the Agency and its customers and stakeholders.
It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement
of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the
overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative
information will not be used for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as
monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such
data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target
population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame,
the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the
precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing
potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any
testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding
the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for
other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative
results.
The Agency received no comments in response to the 60-day notice
published in the Federal Register on December 22, 2010 (75 FR 80542).
This is a new collection of information. Respondents will be
screened and selected from individuals and households, businesses,
organizations, and/or State, Local or Tribal Government. Below we
provide ATSDR's projected annualized estimate for the next three years.
There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The estimated
annualized burden hours for this data collection activity are 1,070.
