To meet OMB and Congressional
reporting requirements, this request for a revised generic
clearance will allow the DOS' PDEO to regularly conduct surveys of
participants that participate in exchange and public diplomacy
programs. Collecting this data will help PDEO assess and measure
program effectiveness, as well as provide valuable feedback on the
program from the participants' persepective. PDEO may administer
surveys through paper or electronic questionnaires, personal
interviews, and/or focus groups. The surveys will be generated by
using the approved bank of questions.
