SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Department to the Army announces a proposed 
public information collection and seeks public comment on the 
provisions thereof. 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 of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.

DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by August 
26, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection should be sent to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 
Directorate of Civil Works, Washington, DC 20314-1000 Attn: CECW-OR 
(FRANK R. TORBETT) Consideration will be given to all comments received

    Title: Customer Service Survey--Regulatory Program U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers.
    Needs and Uses: The survey form will be provided to the public when 
they receive a regulatory product, primarily a permit decision or 
wetland determination. The information collected will be used to 
determine what areas of the program can be improved and to consider 
policy areas which may need revision to improve customer satisfaction. 
Without this customer survey we could not comply with the Executive 
Order and would have to rely on more informal and less structured, and 
therefore less effective, methods of obtaining public input.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households; Business or other for-
profit; Not for profit institutions; Farms; Federal Government; State, 
Local or Tribal Government.
    Annual Burden Hours: 15,000.
    Number of Respondents: 60,000.
    Responses Per Respondent: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Without conducting this survey, the Corps 
cannot comply with the executive order or learn of all areas of 
customer dissatisfaction that warrant program change.

Army Federal Register Liaison Officer.
