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

PO 00000

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

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
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
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 clearance number if the
need arises for additional training and
feedback forms.

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
of a sensitive nature.
Pursuant to the PRA and OMB
regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the EEOC
solicits 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
