additional comments. The information to be collected will be used to

    Title: AVIATOR (Automated Vacancy Information Access Tool for 
Online Referral) Customer Satisfaction Survey.
    Form Numbers: N/A (electronic).
    Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
    Background: The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period soliciting comments on the following collection of information 
was published on February 2, 2021 (86 FR 7919). The Government 
Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) Section 2(b)(3) requires 
agencies to ``improve Federal program effectiveness and public 
accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service quality, 
and customer satisfaction''. In addition, as stated in the White House 
``Memorandum for Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies'' 
regarding Executive Order No. 12862, ``the actions the order 
prescribes, such as surveying customers, surveying employees, and 
benchmarking, shall be continuing agency activities''. This collection 
supports the Department of Transportation (DOT) strategic goal of 
Organizational Excellence.
    In compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA), 
all of our data collection will be 100% electronic using an online 
form; Applicants will be asked to complete the survey just before they 
exit the system. The AVIATOR Customer Satisfaction Survey is designed 
to identify potential problems with FAA's automated staffing solutions 
as well as to evaluate customer satisfaction with the on-line 
application process. The information is not gathered by any other 
collection. It will be difficult, if not impossible, to improve the 
AVIATOR system's overall performance and customer satisfaction without 
utilizing the survey as a performance measurement tool.
    Respondents: 138,953 U.S. citizens, identified as applicants (from 
January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019) applying for employment with the 
Federal Aviation Administration, had the opportunity to complete a 
survey. 9% (13,019) of applicants completed surveys during this time 
frame.
    Frequency: On occasion/as interested.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 3 minutes per response.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 13,019 respondents x 0.05 (3/60) = 
651 hours.
