The <E T="04">Federal Register</E> Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on May 23, 2024. As part of a Federal Government-wide effort to streamline the process to seek feedback from the public on service delivery, FAA has an approved Generic Information Collection Request (Generic ICR): “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery.” </SUM> <DATES> <HD SOURCE="HED">DATES:</HD> Written comments should be submitted by November 29, 2024. </DATES> <HD SOURCE="HED">ADDRESSES:</HD> Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to <E T="03">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.</E> Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function. <FURINF> <HD SOURCE="HED">FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:</HD> Barbara Hall at (940) 594-5913, or by email at: <E T="03">Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov.</E> </FURINF> <SUPLINF> <HD SOURCE="HED">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</HD> <E T="03">Public Comments Invited:</E> You are asked to comment on any aspect of this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. <E T="03">OMB Control Number:</E> 2120-0746. <E T="03">Title:</E> Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. <E T="03">Form Numbers:</E> NA. <E T="03">Type of Review:</E> Renewal of an information collection. <E T="03">Background:</E> The <E T="04">Federal Register</E> Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following collection of information was published on May 23, 2024 (89 FR 45731). 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. <E T="03">Respondents:</E> 110,000 Individuals and Households, Businesses and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Government. <E T="03">Frequency:</E> Once per request. <E T="03">Estimated Average Burden per Response:</E> 10 minutes. <E T="03">Estimated Total Annual Burden:</E> 18,330 hours. <SIG> <DATED>Issued in Fort Worth, TX, on October 24, 2024.</DATED> <NAME>Barbara L.
