Abstract: This collection of information is necessary to enable the Office of Consumer Outreach ("OCO") to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with our commitment to improving service delivery. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with OCO 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 and actionable communications between the OCO and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. The OCO will undertake a variety of service delivery-focused activities over the next few years which include customer outreach and information-sharing with stakeholders that are responsive to stakeholders’ needs and sensitive to changes in the consumer market. The proposed information collection activity will use similar methods for information collection or otherwise share common elements, and provide a means to gather customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner. The solicitation of information on delivery of customer services will address such areas as appropriate messages, effective message delivery methods, effective programming, programming needs, and customer beliefs, psychographics and social norms that will assist the agency in developing outreach and communications plans.
