The Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) leads Federal agencies in shaping human resources management
(HRM) systems to effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a
high quality and diverse workforce. We need to solicit input from
our customers to evaluate our performance in providing services
that are citizen-centered, results-oriented and market-based.
Customer Satisfaction surveys are valuable tools to gather
information from our customers so we can design and implement new
ways to improve our service to meet their needs. This collection
request includes surveys that we currently use or plan to use
during the next three years to measure our ability to meet our
customers needs. The survey instruments include direct mail,
telephone contact, focus groups and web exit surveys. Our customers
include the general public, Federal benefit recipients, Federal
agencies and Federal employees. This meets all requirements for
Executive Order 12862 and OMB Memorandum 93-14.
This collection previously
included surveys pertaining to Performance Measurement and Program
Services Evaluations. These surveys were removed and only Customer
Satisfaction Surveys will be associated with this collection.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
