B. Submitting Comments
The NRC encourages electronic comment submission through the
Federal rulemaking website (https://www.regulations.gov). Please
include Docket ID NRC-2022-0102in your comment submission.
The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact
information in comment submissions that you do not want to be publicly
disclosed in your comment submission. All comment submissions are
posted at https://www.regulations.gov and entered into ADAMS. Comment
submissions are not routinely edited to remove identifying or contact
information.
If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons
for submission to the OMB, then you should inform those persons not to
include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be
publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should
state that comment submissions are not routinely edited to remove such
information before making the comment submissions available to the
public or entering the comment into ADAMS.
II. Background
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized
below.
1. The title of the information collection: Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0217.
3. Type of submission: Extension.
4. The form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion
and annually.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Individuals and
households; businesses and organizations; State, Local, or Tribal
governments.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 4,200.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4.200.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 1,087.5.
10. Abstract: The information collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely
manner, for the purpose of 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
[[Page 27666]]
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.
III. Specific Requests for Comments
The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical
utility?
2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection
accurate?
3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected?
4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology?
