being funded under the CPRG program.
It is expected that the CPRG program,
along with other IRA programs, will be
required to demonstrate effective
execution of the statutory
responsibilities charged to the EPA, as
well as comply with any additional
reporting requirements (e.g., Evidence
Act, Justice40). These responsibilities

accuracy of calculations and analyses
submitted by grantees, (2) assessing the
compliance of grantees in performing
tasks agreed to under the Terms and
Conditions of CPRG implementation
grants, and (3) applying information
collected from CPRG implementation
grantees for analytical use.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: CPRG

and Budget (OMB) previously approved.
This collection is part of a Federal
Government-wide effort to streamline
the process to seek feedback from the
public on service delivery.
DATES: Written comments on this notice
must be submitted on or before August
2, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The proposed information
collection activity will garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the government’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback, we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but 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, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training, or changes in
operations might improve 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.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, course materials, course
instructor, courtesy, efficiency of service
delivery, and resolution of issues with
service delivery. Responses will be
assessed to plan and inform efforts to
improve or maintain the quality of
service offered to the public. If this
information is not collected, vital
feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are the only way to
collect information; there are no
alternative existing sources;
• The collections are
noncontroversial and do not raise issues
of concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered will be used
only internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered will not be
used for the purpose of substantially
informing influential policy decisions;
and
• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
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.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy

information and will not ask questions

Pursuant to the PRA and OMB
regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the EEOC
solicited public comment on its intent
to seek a three-year approval of this
revised collection to enable it to: (1)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
EEOC’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
EEOC’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of

electronic submission of responses. No
comments were received in response to
the 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on March 22, 2024 (89
FR 20473).
In addition to clearance hours for the
previously approved customer feedback
forms, the EEOC is also requesting an
additional 1,000 clearance hours as a
reserve to cover any additional feedback
forms that may be developed over the
next three years for new trainings
offered by the EEOC. The EEOC
anticipates any new potential feedback
forms will be similar in length and
content to existing feedback forms. The
EEOC plans to seek clearance for the
additional hours so the EEOC can use
the existing OMB clearance number if
the need arises for additional training
and feedback forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 (Title VII), Title I of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),
and Title II of the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA),
which collectively prohibit
discrimination on the basis of race,
color, religion, sex, national origin,
disability, or genetic information.
Section 709(c) of Title VII, section
107(a) of the ADA, and section 207(a) of
GINA authorize the EEOC to issue
recordkeeping and reporting regulations
that are deemed reasonable, necessary,
or appropriate.1 The EEOC has
promulgated recordkeeping regulations
under those authorities that are
contained in 29 CFR part 1602. These
regulations do not require the creation
of any particular records but generally
require employers and labor
organizations to preserve any personnel
and employment records they make or
keep for a period of one year or two
1 While the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
(PWFA) also authorizes the EEOC to issue
recordkeeping regulations, this notice announces
the EEOC’s intent to seek an extension of the
existing recordkeeping requirements under Title
VII, the ADA, and GINA. Recordkeeping
requirements concerning the PWFA will be
addressed separately.

years, and possibly longer if a charge of
discrimination is filed.
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, and OMB regulation 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), the Commission solicits
public comment to enable it to:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Commission’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of
the collection of information, including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
