SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) (Pub. L.
103–62) requires agencies to ‘‘improve
Federal program effectiveness and
public accountability by promoting a
new focus on results, service quality,
and customer satisfaction.’’ Executive
Order 13571 on ‘‘Streamlining Service
Delivery and Improving Customer
Service’’ requires Federal agencies to
establish ‘‘mechanisms to solicit
customer feedback on Government
services.’’ To fulfill this responsibility,
DOI bureaus and offices must collect
data from their respective user groups to
better understand the needs and desires
of the public and to respond
accordingly.
We use customer satisfaction surveys
to help us fulfill our responsibilities to
provide excellence in government by

proactively consulting with those we
serve. This programmatic clearance
provides an expedited approval process
for DOI bureaus and offices to conduct
customer research through external
surveys such as questionnaires and
comment cards. We will use this
information to support all aspects of
planning to include buildings, roads,
interpretive exhibits, and technical
systems. We anticipate that the
information obtained could lead to
reallocation of resources, revisions in
certain agency processes and policies,
development of guidance related to
customer services, and improvement in
the way we serve the American public.
The proposed renewal covers all of
the organizational units and bureaus in
DOI. Bureaus and offices will
voluntarily obtain information from
their customers and stakeholders. No
one survey will cover all the topic areas;
rather, these topic areas serve as a guide
within which the agencies will develop
questions. Topic areas include:
(1) Communication/information/
education. Questions will focus on
customer satisfaction with aspects of
communication/information/products/
education offered. Respondents may be
asked for feedback regarding the
following attributes of the services
provided:
(a) Timeliness.
(b) Consistency.
(c) Ease of Use and Usefulness.
(d) Ease of Information Access.
(e) Helpfulness and Effectiveness.
(f) Quality.
(g) Value for fee paid for information/
product/service.
(h) Level of engagement in
communications process (i.e., whether
respondent feels he/she was asked for
input and whether or not that input was
considered).
(2) Disability accessibility. This area
will focus on customer satisfaction data
related to disability access to DOI
buildings, facilities, trails, etc.
(3) Management practices. This area
covers questions relating to how well
customers are satisfied with DOI
management practices and processes,
what improvements they might make to
specific processes, and whether or not
they feel specific issues were addressed
and reconciled in a timely, courteous,
and responsive manner.
(4) Resource management. We will
ask customers and partners to provide
satisfaction data related to DOI’s ability
to protect, conserve, provide access to,
and preserve natural resources that we
manage.
(5) Rules, regulations, policies. This
area focuses on obtaining feedback from
customers regarding fairness, adequacy,
