from the public and affected agencies are invited to address one or 
more of the following points: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the function of

    Proposed Collection Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of 
Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery (NCI), 0925-0642, 
Revision, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of 
Health (NIH).
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This information collection 
activity is collecting qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in 
an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with 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, 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. It also allows feedback to contribute directly 
to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this 
generic clearance provides useful information but it 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 burden hours are 
8,917.
