SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity provides a means to
collect qualitative customer and
stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery.
Qualitative feedback means data that
provide useful insights on perceptions
and opinions, but are not statistical
surveys that yield quantitative results
that can be generalized to the
population of study. This feedback will
provide insights into customer or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences
and expectations. This feedback also
provides an early warning of issues with
service, or focuses attention on areas
where communication, training or
changes in operations might improve
the accuracy of data reported on survey
instruments or the delivery of products
or services. These collections will allow
for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.

electronic filing. Please file motions to
intervene, protests, comments, or
recommendations using the
Commission’s eFiling system at http://
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp.
Commenters can submit brief comments
up to 6,000 characters, without prior
registration, using the eComment system
at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/
ecomment.asp. You must include your
name and contact information at the end
of your comments. For assistance,

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.
The first page of any filing should

The Commission’s Rules of Practice
and Procedure require all intervenors
filing documents with the Commission
to serve a copy of that document on
each person whose name appears on the
official service list for the project.
Further, if an intervenor files comments
or documents with the Commission
relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must
also serve a copy of the document on
that resource agency.
k. Description of Request: Idaho
Power Company (IPC) filed a five-year
compliance report for the project’s
approved land management plan as well
as proposed updates to the existing
plan. Updates include new land-use
classification maps based off previously
approved changes and modifications to
the use classification of private boat
docks on conservation and agriculture/
grazing land. IPC proposes to change the
classification of private boat docks to
‘‘conditional’’ in both conservation and
agriculture/grazing land-use areas,
which are currently listed as allowed
and prohibited, respectively. To remain
consistent across projects, IPC proposes
the modification due to changes in land
ownership and land use patterns from
open-range grazing to private/ruralresidential uses in the project area, as
well as at this and several other IPC
projects. IPC states that by listing
private boat docks as conditional it
would review all applications to ensure
the proposal does not have adverse

resource effects. Additionally, all dock
applications would be required to meet
the IPC’s existing boat dock standards
and applicants would be required to
obtain the required state and federal
permits and consult with specified
resource agencies.
