Abstract: The Office of Management
and Budget regulation at 5 CFR 1320,
which implements the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), requires that
interested members of the public and
affected agencies have an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)]. The Office of Strategic
Employee and Organization
Development, Federal Consulting Group
has submitted a request to Office of
Management and Budget to renew its
approval of this collection of
information for three years.
This information collection activity
provides a means to consistently assess,
benchmark, and improve customer
satisfaction with Federal government
agency websites within the Executive
Branch. The Federal Consulting Group
of the Department of the Interior serves
as the executive agent for this
methodology and has partnered with
Verint (through ForeSee, which was
acquired in 2018) to offer this
assessment to federal agencies.

Verint/ForeSee is a leader in customer
satisfaction and customer experience
management on the web and related
media. Its’ methodology (Customer
Experience Analytics or CXA) is
founded on publicly available ACSI
(American Customer Satisfaction Index)
methodology, that uses a cause-andeffect ‘‘structural equation model’’ to
precisely measure satisfaction
quantitatively from Website users’
surveys. The Verint/ForeSee CXA
Methodology is a cross-agency
methodology for obtaining comparable
measures of satisfaction with Federal
Government Websites. It is a predictive
methodology that identifies specific
areas for improvement and determines
the impact of those improvements on
citizen satisfaction and future citizen
behaviors. The ultimate purpose of
Verint/ForeSee CXA Predictive
Methodology is to help improve the
quality of goods and services available
to American citizens, including those
from the Federal government. The
Verint E-Government Website
Satisfaction Surveys will be completed
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974,
Public Law 93–579, December 31, 1974
(5 U.S.C. 522a). The agency information
collection will be used solely for the
purpose of the survey. The contractor
will not be authorized to release any
agency information upon completion of
the survey without first obtaining
permission from the Federal Consulting
Group and the participating agency. In
no case shall any new system of records
containing privacy information be
developed by the Federal Consulting
Group, participating agencies, or the
contractor collecting the data. In
addition, participating Federal agencies
may only provide information used to
randomly selected respondents from
among established systems of records
provided for such routine uses. There is
no other agency or organization able to
provide the information accessible
through the surveying approach used in
this information collection. Further, the
information will enable Federal
agencies to determine customer
satisfaction metrics with discrimination
capability across variables. Thus, this
information collection will assist
Federal agencies in making the best use
of resources in a targeted manner to
improve service to the public.
This survey asks no questions of a
sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
or other matters that are commonly
considered private.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it is operating under a currently

valid Office of Management and Budget
control number. The Office of
Management and Budget control
number for this collection is 1090–0008.
The control number will be displayed
on the surveys used. For expeditious
administration of the surveys, the
expiration date will not be displayed on
the individual instruments. Response to
the surveys is voluntary.
Title of Collection: Verint Experience
E-Gov Website Customer Satisfaction
Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 1090–0008.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals, Business, and State, Local,
or Tribal Governments who have
utilized Federal Government services.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Participation by Federal
agencies will vary as new websites are
added or deleted. However, based on
our experience from the previous threeyear approval period, the number of
surveys has been very consistent with
little change and estimate for the next
three years are as follows:
Average Expected Annual Number of
Customer Satisfaction Surveys: 250 with
5,000 respondents per survey.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,250,000 Responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 60,764 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Once per
survey.
Total Estimated Annual Non hour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Dated: September 15, 2021.
