Title: Nationwide Survey of Public Roads Readers.
OMB Number: 2125-0562.
[[Page 14170]]
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Paid and complementary subscribers to Public Roads
magazine.
Abstract: This study is pursuant to President Clinton's Executive
Order 12862, which requires all agencies to identify their customers,
survey their satisfaction with current services, set standards for
service and measure results against them. In addition, a nationwide
census of readers was conducted in 1995 to gauge the overall
satisfaction of readers and to measure, in particular, reader
satisfaction with significant changes that had been made in the
magazine's design and content, subject scope, and audience. Now, it is
time to survey a sample of the readership and compare the results to
the benchmark established in 1995. Also, the results of this survey
will form the basis of a major, direct-mail campaign to increase the
number of paid subscribers.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 375 hours.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention DOT Desk Officer. Comments are invited
on: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the Department, including
whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department's estimate of the burden of the proposed information
collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
A comment to OMB is best assured of having its full effect if OMB
receives it 30 days after publication.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 12, 1998.
