The information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with CBP's 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, Start Printed Page 45671 and actionable communications between CBP and its customers and stakeholders.
