SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
NOAA intends to conduct a number of voluntary surveys of users of
selected NOAA products, services, or programs in order to determine
customer satisfaction and to solicit suggestions for improving those
NOAA products, services, and programs. The information obtained will be
used in NOAA's program planning efforts.
II. Method of Collection
Individual NOAA offices will develop questionnaires based upon the
generic forms to be approved by OMB. The generic questions will be
edited by those offices to solicit information specific to the program
involved. These adaptations will be submitted to OMB for informal
review prior to their use to ensure that they conform with objectives
and nature of the generic questions that have been approved.
Distribution of the questionnaires may be by mailings to customers, as
attachments to products sent to customers, and on the World Wide Web
(usually associated with order forms).

OMB Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular Submission.

IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information;
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
