Comments

A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2013. This comment period ended September 9, 2013. We received one comment from the public regarding the potential additional burden of collecting the information quarterly and of collecting performance measures by subgrantees, and that some of the information to be collected was duplicative. We have addressed these comments in the following ways. First, only first year grantees will submit progress reports quarterly. All other grantees will submit reports on a biannual basis. Second, we will not be collecting performance measures by subgrantees and will continue to collect performance measures in aggregate by the intermediary. Finally, grantees will no longer submit performance measures via the project plan in eGrants, but will provide that information in one place in the data supplement, preventing duplication per the concerns of the
commenter.

Description: In an attempt to streamline data collection processes and reduce reporting burdens, the Social Innovation Fund is revising the way in which it collects performance progress information from grantees. These revisions include a revised progress report, a Data Supplement, and a new performance measure module.

Type of Review: New. Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.

Title: Social Innovation Fund Progress Report and Performance Measure Module.

OMB Number: TBD. Agency Number: None. Affected Public: Social Innovation Fund grantees.

Total Respondents: 27. Frequency: The information will be collected biannually for existing grantees and quarterly for first year grantees.

Average Time per Response: 3 hours. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 81. Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/ maintenance): None.

Dated: January 9, 2015. Melissa Bradley,
