This 83C
corrects a technical problem in ROCIS. The prior terms of clearance
remain in effect: This generic clearance for ED customer
satisfaction focus groups and surveys is approved under the
following conditions: 1) ED shall use the generic clearance to
collect customer satisfaction data (via surveys and focus groups)
where the agency seeks to gather information for general service
improvement, not for publication or for the purpose of informing
significant policy or resource allocation decisions. 2) Focus
groups should be of limited size and scope. 3) For individual
surveys or focus groups, ED shall submit a generic IC in ROCIS
along with an abbreviated supporting statement in the template
agreed to by OMB and Education. This statement shall include all
relevant information, including a statement of need, intended use
of information, description of respondents, information collection
procedures, expected response rate, justification for incentive,
and estimated burden. 4) OMB will respond with clearance or
questions within 10 working days.

Customer satisfaction surveys and
focus group discussions will be conducted by the Principal Offices
of the Department of Education to measure customer satisfaction and
establish and improve customer service standards as required by
Executive Order 12862.
This change is due to a
decrease in focus group hours. The Department provided a more
accurate time/response for focus groups.
