SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Public Comments

Public comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary, whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

B. Purpose

The Digital Government Strategy (May 2012) requires federal agencies to measure performance and customer satisfaction to improve service delivery. Since the Web is a primary channel for agencies to deliver government information and services to the American public, this collection will provide actionable data to help agencies improve their Web sites; enable agency compliance with the Digital Government Strategy; and streamline the PRA review process for Web site surveys, for both OMB and agencies.

Online surveys are an industry best practice, and one of the most efficient ways for agencies to measure customer satisfaction. A random selection of visitors to government Web sites will be given the opportunity to complete a survey. Participation is voluntary and anonymous. Survey questions are documented on HowTo.gov. The data gathered will be used internally by agencies to improve service to government customers.

C. Annual Reporting Burden

(Note, this burden is calculated only for GSA's HowTo.gov Web site.)

The estimated annual burden:

Respondents: 1800.

Responses Per Respondent: 1.

Total Annual Responses: 1800.

Hours Per Response: .03.

Total Burden Hours: 54.

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information collection documents from the General Services Administration, Regulatory Secretariat (MVCB), 1800 F Street NW., Washington, DC 20405, telephone [phone].
