[Federal Register Volume 75, Number 137 (Monday, July 19, 2010)] [Notices] [Pages 41869-41870] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2010-17293] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Title: Data Collection Plan for the Customer Satisfaction Evaluation of Child Welfare Information Gateway. OMB No.: 0970-0303. Description: The National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information (NCCAN) and the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse (NAIC) received OMB approval to collect data for a customer satisfaction evaluation under OMB control number 0970-0303. On June 20, 2006, NCCAN and NAIC were consolidated into Child Welfare Information Gateway (Information Gateway). The proposed information collection activities include revisions to the Customer Satisfaction Evaluation approved under OMB control number 0970-0303 to reflect current information needs for providing innovative and useful products and services. Child Welfare Information Gateway is a service of the Children's Bureau, a component within the Administration for Children and Families, and Information Gateway is dedicated to the mission of connecting professionals and concerned citizens to information on programs, research, legislation, and statistics regarding the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families. Information Gateway's main functions are identifying information needs, locating and acquiring information, creating information, organizing and storing information, disseminating information, and facilitating information exchange among professionals and concerned citizens. A number of vehicles are employed to accomplish these activities, including, but not limited to, website hosting, discussions with customers (e.g. phone, live chat, etc.), and dissemination of publications (both print and electronic). The Customer Satisfaction Evaluation was initiated in response to Executive Order 12862 issued on September 11, 1993. The Order calls for putting customers first and striving for a customer-driven government that matches or exceeds the best service available in the private sector. To that end, Information Gateway's evaluation is designed to better understand the kind and quality of services customers want, as well as customers' level of satisfaction with existing services. The proposed data collection activities for the evaluation include customer satisfaction surveys, customer comment cards, selected publication surveys, and focus groups. Respondents: Child Welfare Information Gateway customers.
