CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

AGENCY: Corporation for National and

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Attn: Ms. Sharon Mar, OMB 

Desk Officer for the Corporation for 

National and Community Service, by 

any of the following two methods 

within 30 days from the date of 

publication in the Federal Register: 

(1) By fax to: 202–395–6974, 

Attention: Ms. Sharon Mar, OMB Desk 

Officer for the Corporation for National 

and Community Service; or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OMB 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Propose ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Propose ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments 

A 60-day Notice requesting public 

comment was published in the Federal 

Register on September 17, 2014. This 

comment period ended November 17, 

2014. Two public comments were 

received from this Notice. 

One commenter suggested engaging 

state service commissions in the survey 

planning process to avoid duplicating 

efforts to collect member experience 

data. CNCS engages state service 

commissions on a regular basis. 

The second commenter offered the 

following suggestions. 

Survey Question 3a. Public comment: 

Recommend spelling out the acronyms 

PSO and CTI. CNCS response: This 

change was discussed with our working 

group and with pilot respondents 

participating in cognitive interviewing, 

but was found not to be needed. 

Respondents to whom the acronyms did 

not apply simply ignored them. 

Survey Questions 5a, 5b, and 5c. 

Public comment: Is it truly the 

frequency that you’re interested in or 

whether or not the program provided 

them with the knowledge, skills and 

abilities to perform those activities? 

CNCS response: Though we certainly 

are interested in whether programs are 

providing members with the training 

and opportunities needed to develop 

these skills, we chose to assess 

frequency of skill usage 

Survey Question 6. Public comment: 

Item a, when referencing co-worker are 

you referring to a fellow AmeriCorps 

member or other employees at the 

service location? CNCS response: Coworker could refer to any individual in 

a service or workplace setting. 

Survey Question 7. Public comment: 

Do you want the respondent to answer 

this based on their AmeriCorps 

experience or in general? May want to 

have a lead-in clause similar to question 

8. CNCS response: Answers to this 

survey should be based on the member’s 

AmeriCorps experience. 

Question 11: Public comment. 

Although the question specifically 

references discussions with friends and 

family, a member may believe some of 

the selections within this question are 

leading them to answer about potential 

involvement in prohibited activities. 

If trying to assess whether or not 

AmeriCorps has led them to be more 

civically engaged in the last 12 months, 

might want to rephrase the introduction 

statement/question. CNCS response: We 

have eliminated all questions 

referencing potentially prohibited 

activities. 

Question 18. Public comment: Item c, 

may want to add a few examples or a 

national nonprofit (e.g., Red Cross, City 

Year, etc.) or change language to ask 

about affiliation with the legal applicant 

as not all program operators are 

nonprofits. CNCS response: Since we 

did not uncover confusion in our 

cognitive interviews or qualitative 

analysis, we decided not to add 

examples. 

Question 19. Public comment: Is it 

beneficial to add a selection for VISTA 

members that elect to receive the cash 

stipend in lieu of an education award? 

CNCS response: Based on feedback from 

our cognitive interviews, this response 

option has been added. 

Public comment: The commenter also 

wondered if CNCS was interested in 

knowing about how members’ benefits 

(e.g. childcare or healthcare coverage) 

impacted the service experience or 

satisfaction. CNCS response: This was 

not indicated as an area of interest by 

the working group or other internal 

stakeholders, so no questions related to 

benefits will be included in this survey. 

It is possible that future projects or 

survey supplements could ask about the 

impact of member benefits. Public 

comment: The commenter also 

suggested that we include a question 

that could identify the specific states 

where members served, for use in 

reporting findings for state offices and 

commissions. CNCS response: Rather 

than include another question in the 

survey, we are exploring mechanisms to 

connect exit survey data to existing data 

on member service locations. 

Description: CNCS is seeking 

approval of AmeriCorps Member Exit 

Questionnaire, CNCS seeks to renew the 

current information collection. The 

questionnaire submitted for clearance is 

a combination of new and existing 

content from the previously cleared exit 

questionnaire. The new content reflects 

changing agency and program priorities. 

In addition, some approved questions 

have been edited to make them easier to 

understand and to provide more useful 

information for programs. The new 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

73282 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 237 / Wednesday, December 10, 2014 / Notices 

questions include data points on 

problem-solving and cross-cultural 

communication skills. The information 

collection will otherwise be used in the 

same manner as the existing 

application. CNCS also seeks to 

continue using the current application 

until the revised application is 

approved by OMB.
