CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND 

COMMUNITY SERVICE 

Proposed Information Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (the 

Corporation), as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

helps to ensure that requested data can 

be provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirement on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

Currently, the Corporation is 

soliciting comments concerning its 

National Performance Measurement 

Assessment through a proposed survey 

and follow up interview of AmeriCorps 

State and National grantees and State 

Commissions. The purpose of this data 

collection is for CNCS to understand the 

tools and processes grantees and 

commissions have used to select, 

implement and report program 

performance using pilot measures 

developed for programs receiving 

AmeriCorps grants in 2010 and 2011. 

CNCS will use the results of this 

assessment to inform the ongoing 

adoption of AmeriCorps grantee 

measures as well as new performance 

measurement efforts within other CNCS 

programs. Completion of this 

information collection is considered 

completely voluntary and is not

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joscelyn Silsby, (202) 606–6772, or by 

email at jsilsby@cns.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corporation is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses). 

Background 

The Corporation for National and 

Community Service (CNCS) is seeking 

timely feedback from State and National 

AmeriCorps grantees and State Service 

Commissions regarding the National 

Performance Measures Pilot to help the 

agency (1) improve guidance materials 

and technical assistance regarding 

performance measurement and (2) 

effectively use the measures for internal 

management and external 

accountability. 

In order to achieve its strategic 

objectives, CNCS must create effective 

services, products, and communications 

materials for program partners (sponsors 

and grantees) pursuant to its goals. 

Performance measures are imbedded in 

objectives under each of the goals of 

CNCS’s 2011–2015 Strategic Plan. 

The three-year National Performance 

Measures Pilot will be completed in FY 

2012; in FY 2013 AmeriCorps will begin 

to implement a standard set of national 

grantee measures. AmeriCorps staff, 

state service commissions, and grantees 

have been preparing for this shift in 

performance measurement over the past 

three years. 

When fully implemented, the national 

performance measures are intended to 

(1) focus AmeriCorps-funded programs 

on producing measurable outcomes and 

(2) make it possible to assess and report 

the overall impact of performance in key 

areas outlined in the Serve America Act. 

These areas include Disaster Services, 

Economic Opportunity, Education, 

Environmental Stewardship, Healthy 

Futures, and Veterans and Military 

Families. 

Current Action 

This is a new information collection 

request by the Corporation for National 

and Community Service. An online 

survey and follow-up interview will be 

conducted with two categories of 

respondents: (1) State service 

commissions, sponsored by State or 

Tribal governments, and (2) nonprofit 

organizations awarded AmeriCorps 

grants in 2010 and 2011. Data collection 

will occur among respondents at the 

commission or grantee organization who 

are responsible for the oversight and 

implementation of performance 

measurement and evaluation activities. 

Grantees implementing programs 

through a state service commission are 

referenced in the instruments and 

sampling plan as ‘‘State Competitive’’ 

grantees or ‘‘subgrantees.’’ Multi-state 

grantees are referenced as ‘‘National 

Direct’’ grantees.
