Title: BLM's Generic Customer Satisfaction Surveys and Focus
Groups, OMB approval number: 1004-0172
Abstract: BLM is proposing to extend, with revisions, the approval
of an information collection for determining the satisfaction of its
customers with its programs and services. The currently approved
collection covered all survey instruments, both customer comment cards
and telephone surveys, and the use of focus groups to determine what
questions to ask and comments to solicit. The revised collection will
concern only customer comment cards for specific programs and a generic
comment card for all other programs and uses. The program-specific
comment cards are as follows: rights-of-way, land management
transactions, recreation permittees, mining claim recordation,
information access centers, recreation and education users, and grazing
permits and leases. The revised collection would also cover comment
cards posted on the Internet, including the joint BLM/Forest Service
electronic comment card posted at http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/
permits/survey.htm
Bureau Form Number: Not applicable.
Frequency: Once.
Description of Respondents: General customers (i.e., rights-of-way,
land management transactions, recreational permits, mining claim
recordation, oil and gas leases, information access centers,
recreational and educational users, and grazing permits and leases) of
the BLM who have program-specific or general comments to provide.
Annual Responses: 10,000.
Annual Burden Hours: 500, or 0.05 hour (3 minutes) per response.
