**Posted:** October 19, 2026
**Respond By:** November 18, 2026
**Identifier:** 2026-21262

NARA is seeking public comment on renewing a generic feedback collection to support improvements to its agency services.
- **Government buyer:** National Archives and Records Administration (NARA); the request is submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
- **Collection:** “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery” (OMB Number 3095-0070). This is a public-comment notice, not a procurement opportunity; no products, contracted services, OEMs, or vendors are requested.
- **Participants and estimated burden:** Voluntary feedback may come from individuals, households, businesses and organizations, and state, local, or tribal governments. NARA estimates 27,000 respondents, an average of 26 collection activities annually, 1,038 respondents per activity, and 13,500 total burden hours.
- **Feedback topics and use:** Responses may address service timeliness, accuracy, clarity, courtesy, efficiency, and issue resolution. NARA will use feedback internally to improve service delivery and program management; results are not intended to be statistically generalizable.
- **Notable conditions:** The collection is intended to be low-burden and limits personal information and sensitive questions.
