The Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) leads Federal agencies in shaping human resources management
(HRM) systems to effectively recruit, develop, manage and retain a
diverse, high quality 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 about
our customers' view of our performance and services so we can
design and implement new ways to improve our performance and
services to meet their needs. This information collection request
includes 12 surveys that we currently use or plan to use during the
next three years to measure customer satisfaction. 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.
The increase in burden request
is to allow for both the increasing pool of survey recipients for
many of the current ICs, especially retirees, as well open burden
for potential future ICs during the 3 year clearance period.
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
