Abstract: The Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s Office of Customer Education and Outreach (OCEO) seeks to obtain OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative and quantitative feedback. By feedback we mean information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistically significant surveys that yield results that can be generalized to the population of study. This collection of information is necessary to enable the OCEO to garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient and 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 OCEO 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 OCEO and its customers and stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management.

Short Statement: This is a renewal request for a previous generic approval. CFTC staff estimates the annual burden associated with this generic clearance to total approximately 17,279 responses and 3,941 burden hours annually. Over the three-year clearance period, this yields a requested total of 51,837 responses and 12,000 burden hours (rounded up from 11,823). The changes included herein reflect a greater reliance on technological means of collection that are more cost-effective and less burdensome for respondents. OCEO has also reduced the overall number of collections to reflect its current pace of work and capabilities. These changes yield a reduction in the overall burden hours requested for this renewal period.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $201,137
