Justification for NonSubstantive Change to RI 10-72 2013

Justification for Non-substantive change for RI 10-72, Customer Satisfaction Survey (CSS).

FY 2013 CSS

RS periodically asks OPM survey psychologists to review the CSS for potential improvements. This was done for the 2013 CSS. Based on the psychologist’s suggestions the following non-substantive changes were made: 1) Response sets were reversed to run positive to negative; 2) Three questions that very few annuitants answer were deleted; 3) Four sub-headers were added identifying for the annuitants the purpose of question groups. The only other changes are to date references; 4) In order to conduct more business on-line, an on-line link to the survey will be emailed to half of the survey sample selection. The hardcopy and on-line surveys are identical.
