Terms of Clearance:
This collection is approved based on the revised materials. Before an individual collection is submitted for review, it must meet the following requirements. 1. Concurrence must be received from the OPPM Deputy Assistant Director. 2. The materials submitted should document the exceptional circumstances which make it impossible for another agency to collect the information. The absence of an active agency collection vehicle will not be treated as an “exceptional circumstance.” 3. Unless otherwise agreed to by OMB’s SAOP and OMB’s CIO, the agencies who administer the programs or services that are the subject of the information collection have been consulted on the collection, and have provided written approval. The written approval must be provided by an appropriate official of the agency that operates the program, the agency CIO, and the agency SAOP. This written authorization will be submitted as part of the information collection request. 4. A clear and succinct Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for each individual request is submitted to and approved by the OMB SAOP and the OMB CIO. PPM understands that an agency PIA may also be required, depending upon the circumstances and the nature of the information to be collected. 5. Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected only to the extent necessary and is not retained beyond the retention requirements associated with applicable NARA approved records schedules. Any PII collected will be stored by a partner agency other than OMB unless, in exceptional circumstances, OMB obtains prior express approval from OMB OGC, the OMB SAOP, the OMB CIO, and the OMB ARO. 6. PPM is required to discuss with and obtain approval from the OMB CIO and ARO regarding the process and type of data collection being done ensuring there is a clear understanding and adherence to the governance put in place on the collection, maintenance and eventual disposition of data. This will be based on each individual data/collection type and although the governance may be similar, there will be unique requirements for each collection. 7. PPM must obtain approvals from OMB’s OGC, SAOP, and CIO if the information to be collected is likely to include PII, BEFORE utilizing any OMB information technology to collect any such information. PPM must be able to succinctly explain how such information will be stored in a manner consistent with OMB’s privacy and records obligations. 8. If PPM is pledging to delete collected information at any point, PPM will provide a citation to the applicable records schedule permitting disposal, as well as a statement that PPM has consulted with the OMB ARO, OMB OGC, and where directed by OMB OGC, the relevant agency OGC, and has obtained agreement from each that the information may be deleted as pledged. 9. Information gathered will be used only within the Federal Government, for general service improvement and program management purposes, unless, at a minimum, OMB Comms and OMB OGC have agreed that information may be shared outside the Government. In addition, PPM will seek approval from any partner agencies unless otherwise agreed to by OMB’s SAOP and OMB’s CIO. 10. Additional release of data must be coordinated with OIRA, OMB’s SAOP and OMB’s CIO. In addition, additional release of data must be coordinated with any partner agency’s CIO and SAOP, unless otherwise agreed to by OMB’s SAOP and OMB’s CIO. 11. PPM must certify that the collection(s) are voluntary; are low-burden for respondents (based on considerations of total burden hours or burden-hours per respondent); are low-cost for both the respondents and the Federal Government and are non-controversial. 12. PPM must certify that the collection is targeted to the solicitation of opinions from respondents who have experience with the program(s) relevant to the cross-cutting work being undertaken, or are likely to have such experience in the near future.

Abstract:
The President’s Management Agenda (PMA) prioritizes efforts to improve the experience of those the Government serves—all of the people, families, businesses, organizations, and communities across America, especially those communities that are underserved by Government, when they use Government services. This focus on customer experience will not only improve the delivery, efficiency, security, and effectiveness of our government programs, it will advance equity and enhance everyday interactions with public services and uplift the lives of those who need them the most. To support this, OMB Circular A-11 Section 280 establishes Government-wide standards for mature customer experience organizations in government. In order for Federal programs to design and deliver the experience taxpayers deserve, they must often undertake three general categories of activities: conduct ongoing customer research, gather and share customer feedback, and test services and digital products. Both the PMA and Section 280 charge the President’s Management Council—the primary Government-wide body that advises the President and OMB on management issues that span agencies—with the routine designation of cross-agency “life experiences” for improvement (such as turning 65, surviving a natural disaster, or having a child) that do not fit neatly within one agency’s mission area. This new request will enable the Office of Management and Budget to act in accordance with OMB Circular A-11 Section 280 to ultimately transform the experience of its customers to improve both efficiency and mission delivery, and increase accountability by communicating about these efforts with the public.
