Title: Voluntary Customer Satisfaction
Surveys.
wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1711.05,
OMB Control No. 2090–0019.
ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on June 30, 2006. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:25 Jun 15, 2006 Jkt 208001

conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. 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 OMB control numbers for EPA’s
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
are displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: EPA uses voluntary surveys
to learn how satisfied EPA customers
are with our services, and how we can
improve services, products and
processes. EPA surveys individuals who
use services or could have. During the
next three years, EPA plans up to 72
surveys, and will use results to target/
measure service delivery improvements.
By seeking renewal of the generic
clearance for customer surveys, EPA
will have the flexibility to gather the
views of our customers to better
determine the extent to which our
services, products and processes satisfy
their needs or need to be improved. The
generic clearance will speed the review
and approval of customer surveys that
solicit opinions from EPA customers on
a voluntary basis, and do not involve
‘‘fact-finding’’ for the purposes of
regulatory development or enforcement.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 5.4 minutes per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: The
Executive Order describes a customer as
‘‘ * * * an individual or entity who is
directly served by a department or
PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\16JNN1.SGM
agency.’’ The EPA, by the very nature of
its mandate, serves very large and
diverse groups that receive or are in
some way affected by EPA services. Past
EPA customer groups targeted for
customer satisfaction surveys include
individual citizens, industry/business,
states/other governments, and Web
users. Because several customer groups
use the same services, a survey may
reach more than one of the designated
customer categories. (The code standard
industrial code (SIC) for ‘‘General
Public’’ is 99.)
Estimated Number of Respondents:
18,735.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,671.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,466,
includes $0 annualized capital or O&M
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 1,295 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is in large part
due to greater use of online survey tools.
Dated: June 9, 2006.
