[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 183 (Tuesday, September 22, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 57193-57194] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-24066] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Community Living Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS. [[Page 57194]] ACTION: 60-Day notice of submission of information collection approval from the Office of Management and Budget and request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: As part of a Federal Government-wide effort to streamline the process to seek feedback from the public on service delivery, the Administration for Community Living proposes to 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.). DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of information by November 23, 2015. ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information to: Susan Jenkins at [email protected]. Submit written comments on the collection of information to Administration for Community Living, Washington, DC 20201, Attn. Susan Jenkins. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Jenkins at 202.357.3591. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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 non-response bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior 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. Dated: September 17, 2015. Kathy Greenlee, Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging. [FR Doc. 2015-24066 Filed 9-21-15; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4154-01-P
