                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
                for Agency Service Delivery (OMB Control No. 3038-0107). This is a
                request for an extension of a currently approved information
                collection.
                 Abstract: Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide
                service to the public that matches or exceeds the best service
                available in the private sector. In order to work continuously to
                ensure that our programs are effective and meet our customers' needs,
                the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Office of Customer Education
                and Outreach (OCEO) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance
                to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback. By feedback we mean
                information that provides useful insights on perceptions
                [[Page 51148]]
                and opinions, but are not statistically significant surveys that yield
                results that can be generalized to the population of study.
                 This collection of information is necessary to enable the OCEO to
                garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient and 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 OCEO programs. 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
                OCEO and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to
                contribute directly to the improvement of program management.
                 On July 24, 2019, the Commission published in the Federal Register
                notice of the proposed extension of this information collection and
                provided 60 days for public comment on the proposed extension, 84 FR
                35606 (``60-Day Notice'') The Commission did not receive any comments
                on the 60-Day Notice.
                 Burden Statement: This is a renewal request for a previous generic
                approval. No changes in requirements are anticipated. The respondent
                burden for this collection is estimated to be as follows:
                 Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,440.
                 Estimated Average Burden Hours per Respondent: 2 hours.
                 Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 28,800.
                 Frequency of Collection: 10 per year.
                 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs
                associated with this collection.
                 Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
                 Dated: September 23, 2019.
