This collection of information is
necessary to enable the Agency to garner customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with our
commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected
from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users
have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with the
Agency's programs.
The burden estimate decreased
from 8,935 hours and 17,170 responses to 1,087.5 hours and 4,200
responses, a decrease of 7,847.5 hours and 12,970.0 responses. The
burden was adjusted downward based on agency plans for the upcoming
clearance period. NRC program offices were surveyed regarding their
intention to use customer feedback collections during the next
three years. This feedback was used to develop estimates of the
number of anticipated activities and associated burden. In
addition, the revised estimate is consistent with the actual burden
used on this generic clearance during the past three years (735
hours and 4,484 responses.)
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 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
