Title of Collection: The Effect of 

Different Savings Elicitation Strategies 

on Emergency Savings Targets. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0048. 

Type of Review: Request for approval 

of a generic information collection 

under an existing Generic Information 

Collection Plan. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

6,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,000. 

Abstract: This project examines how 

the framing of savings plans can help 

consumers establish emergency savings. 

The Bureau plans to test whether asking 

consumers to think about opportunity 

costs for their money helps them save 

more effectively for emergencies. Our 

findings can inform Bureau-developed 

content aimed at helping Americans be 

better prepared for emergencies. The 

Bureau will conduct several studies as 

part of this project asking participants 

about their savings goals. Each study 

will involve unique participants. We 

expect to recruit about 6,000 

participants across the life of the 

project. The Bureau will not receive any 

personally identifying information (PII). 

Any PII will be scrubbed by the 

contractor. We will collect 

demographics, psychological measures 

around savings, and consumers’ savings 

goals. The Bureau originally published 

this notice on 12/29/2021 (86 FR 

74075). However, the Bureau is now 

reissuing this notice due to an incorrect 

comment period end date. Bureau staff 

made no other changes to this notice or 

its description of the contained 

information collection requirements. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau is 

publishing this notice and soliciting 

comments on: (a) Whether the collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the Bureau, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methods and the assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be submitted 

to OMB as part of its review of this 

request. All comments will become a 

matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Comments 

An emergency 30-day Notice 

requesting public comment was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 24, 2021 at Vol. 86: 47301. This 

comment period ended September 24, 

2021. Twelve public comments were 

received on this Notice. AmeriCorps 

grouped the comments around issues 

raised and addressed them to the full 

extent possible in this revised 

information collection. Most of the 

comments focused on the data 

collection approach and tool, timeline 

for the data collection, usage of the data, 

safeguarding of data, assessment of 

burden, and organizational capacity to 

complete the tool. For comments related 

to revisions of the collection approach 

and updates to the tool, AmeriCorps has 

revised the diversity questions to better 

align with U.S. Census terminology and 

has revised definitions accordingly. For 

comments related to revisions to the 

collection timeline, AmeriCorps has not 

made a change, as it aims to create a 

baseline through this first data 

collection and therefore the most 

comprehensive and efficient time to 

collect is during the application process. 

In terms of questions related to data 

usage, AmeriCorps has refined the 

sections of the tool on purpose and 

usage of data. In terms of questions 

related to safeguarding, AmeriCorps 

updated language in the tool to confirm 

that it will be collecting data in the 

aggregate. The information requested 

does not include any types of personally 

identifiable information, and other than 

lawfully authorized requests, the 

information will not otherwise be 

disclosed to entities outside of 

AmeriCorps. For comments related to 

the assessment of burden for 

information collection, AmeriCorps 

estimated that the burden of entering

2146 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 9 / Thursday, January 13, 2022 / Notices 

existing demographic data into the 

Diversity Questionnaire data collection 

tool is correctly estimated to be 30 

minutes and does not warrant a 

revision. Finally, for comments related 

to organizational capacity, AmeriCorps 

believes that all organizations have the 

capacity to fill out the tool in a timely 

and responsive manner; instructions in 

the tool were updated to say that 

organizations should complete the form 

to the ‘‘best of their ability.’’ 

Title of Collection: AmeriCorps 

Diversity Questionnaire Form. 

OMB Control Number: 3045–0187. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Businesses and Organizations and State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,500. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,750. 

Abstract: The information provided 

by prospective and current grantees and 

sponsors through the AmeriCorps 

Diversity Questionnaire Form will 

enable AmeriCorps to better understand 

the demographic characteristics of 

current grantees, potential grantees, and 

the people served by AmeriCorps 

programs. The aim is to further 

AmeriCorps’ efforts to consider the 

diversity of communities and 

participants in its grantmaking and 

direct service activities and create 

programs that represent and serve the 

full diversity of the community/our 

country. 

The information requested in the 

Diversity Questionnaire Form will be 

collected in the aggregate for each 

grantee, applicant for funding, and 

sponsor receiving an AmeriCorps 

resource. First, it will provide 

AmeriCorps with a deeper 

understanding of the demographics of 

grantee and sponsor organizations and 

people served by AmeriCorps programs. 

Second, AmeriCorps will take the data 

into account in its grantmaking and 

resource allocation decisions, 

particularly to better reach those who 

are underserved. Over the next 5 years, 

AmeriCorps aims to ensure that 40% of 

all those served by AmeriCorps 

members and AmeriCorps Seniors 

volunteers are people in poverty. 

(AmeriCorps uses ‘‘people in poverty’’ 

as its proxy measure for ‘‘underserved,’’ 

recognizing that data shows that a 

higher proportion of people in poverty 

are people of color and other minority 

populations.) Third, the data will enable 

AmeriCorps to better target training, 

technical assistance, and outreach to 

potential grantees and sponsors, in 

particular those who are new to 

AmeriCorps, with the goal of creating 

programs that represent and serve the 

full diversity of our nation’s 

communities. 

When it collects this data for the first 

time, AmeriCorps will request that the 

Diversity Questionnaire Form be filled 

by every current grantee and applicant 

for funding and resource allocation. 

Following this baseline, AmeriCorps 

expects this questionnaire to be 

included with grant renewal and new 

applications on an annual basis. 

Estimated time for completion of the 

form is less than 30 minutes, based on 

staff testing of the survey. Questions 

have been crafted for ease of reporting 

and efficient collection. 

In AmeriCorps’ grant making 

processes, the questionnaire will be 

submitted electronically as part of the 

grant application and guidance about 

the form will be part of an in-depth set 

of grant application instructions. 

Additionally, the form will be used to 

collect data from sponsor applicants for 

directly-managed programs such as 

AmeriCorps’ National Civilian 

Community Corps (NCCC). Staff will be 

available to provide individualized 

assistance, if needed, to organizations 

filling out the form. 

AmeriCorps also seeks to continue 

using the currently approved 

information collection until the revised 

information collection is approved by 

OMB. The currently approved 

information collection is due to expire 

on 3/31/2022. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating, verifying, 

processing, and maintaining 

information, and disclosing and 

providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. All written comments will 

be available for public inspection on 

regulations.gov.
