CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND 

COMMUNITY SERVICE 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission to the Office of 

Management and Budget for Review 

and Approval; Comment Request; 

Current Population Survey Civic 

Engagement and Volunteering 

Supplement 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice of information collection; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service, operating as 

AmeriCorps, has submitted a public 

information collection request (ICR) 

entitled Current Population Survey 

Civic Engagement and Volunteering 

Supplement (CEV) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by 

August 7, 2023. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting 

‘‘Currently under 30-day Review—Open 

for Public Comments’’ or by using the 

search function. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of this ICR, with applicable 

supporting documentation, may be 

obtained by calling AmeriCorps, Laura 

Hanson Schlachter, Ph.D., at (202) 948– 

7407 or by email to LSchlachter@

cns.gov. 

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; 

• 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 Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 

88 FR 19094. This comment period 

ended May 30, 2023. Four public 

comments were received from this 

Notice. Commenters’ primary concerns 

were related to the reduction in the 

number of questions regarding formal 

volunteering activity in the CEV relative 

to the previous volunteering 

supplement. AmeriCorps agrees that 

reinstating questions about types of 

volunteer organizations and activities 

would generate valuable knowledge. 

Although Census policy does not allow 

AmeriCorps to add these kinds of 

lengthy questions to the CEV at this 

time, we have included them in this 

clearance package in the event that 

Census recommendations change and 

resources allow them to be reinstated in 

future rounds of data collection. 

Title of Collection: Current Population 

Survey Civic Engagement and 

Volunteering Supplement. 

OMB Control Number: 3045–0139. 

Type of Review: Revision of an Existing 

Collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30,000. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 3,335. 

Abstract: AmeriCorps is soliciting 

comments concerning proposed revision 

of its Current Population Survey 

Volunteering and Civic Engagement 

Supplement. Since 2002, AmeriCorps 

has partnered with the U.S. Census 

Bureau and the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics to collect data and produced 

annual volunteering reports, and is 

mandated by the Serve America Act of 

2009 to produce an annual civic health 

assessment in partnership with the 

National Conference on Citizenship. 

Reports, tables, and data for 

Volunteering and Civic Life in America 

(VCLA) are made public on 

americorps.gov, and specialized tables 

are made available upon request. 

The proposed survey will be the only 

source of nationally representative data 

on the number of Americans who are 

active in their communities, through 

volunteering, social interactions, and 

civic behaviors. These measures include 

formal volunteering in an organization; 

a person’s interactions with family, 

friends and neighbors; participation in 

community events; informal 

interactions; communication with one 

another on issues of public concern; and 

interactions with public and private 

institutions. 

AmeriCorps seeks to renew the 

current information collection with 

revisions that are intended to enhance 

the survey. The information collection 

will otherwise be used in the same 

manner as the existing collection. 

AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using 

the current survey until the revised 

survey is approved by OMB. The

7For the purposes of P3, discretionary funds are 

funds that Congress appropriates on an annual

They exclude ‘‘entitlement’’ (or mandatory) 

programs, such as Social Security, Medicare, 

Medicaid, most Foster Care IV–E programs, 

Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants, and 

Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. Pell Grant 

funding, which is supported through a combination 

of discretionary and mandatory funding, is also 

excluded for the purposes of P3. Discretionary 

programs administered by the Agencies support a 

broad set of public services, including education, 

workforce development, health and mental health, 

and other low-income assistance programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Full Text of Announcement 

I. Pilot Opportunity Description 

Purpose of Program: P3 was first 

authorized by Congress in FY 2014 by 

the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2014 (2014 Act), and the authority has 

been included by Congress in 

appropriations acts each year since FY 

2014, most recently in the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117– 

328) (2023 Act). The FY 2023 P3 

authority enables pilot sites to blend FY 

2023 Federal funds and obtain waivers 

of program requirements, including 

statutory, regulatory, and administrative 

requirements that are barriers to 

achieving improved outcomes for youthserving programs included in the 

authority. Under P3, pilots can test 

innovative strategies to achieve 

significant improvements in 

educational, employment, and other key 

outcomes for disconnected youth using 

the flexibility provided by P3. 

Background: Reengaging the more 

than 4.8 million young people in the 

United States who are neither working 

nor enrolled in school—and preventing 

other young people from joining them— 

is a national concern because their 

disconnection can have severe, longterm consequences. 

Youth who drop out and never earn 

a high school credential have higher 

rates of unemployment, lower earnings, 

poorer health, and higher rates of 

mortality, and are more likely to be 

dependent on public assistance than 

those who earn a high school 

credential.1 Interrupted or delayed 

schooling and employment also can 

have long-lasting consequences. Youth 

whose completion of high school is 

delayed are significantly less likely to 

enroll in postsecondary education after 

they do earn their high school 

credential.2 Youth whose enrollment in 

postsecondary education is delayed 

after high school graduation are 

considerably more likely to drop out 

than peers who enter college 

immediately following high school.3

They also earn less as young adults, 

with one study estimating that those 

who delay entry into postsecondary 

institutions earn $41,000 less during the 

first 13 years after high school 

graduation than young adults who 

enrolled in college the semester after 

high school graduation.4 A prolonged 

period of unemployment experienced 

by a young adult can have an enduring 

negative consequence on his or her 

earnings that lasts as long as 9 years 

after he or she finds work.5

P3 may be a useful tool in preventing 

and effectively addressing youth 

disconnection. It gives ED, the 

Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and 

Human Services (HHS), and Justice 

(DOJ),6 the Corporation for National and 

Community Service (CNCS), and the 

Institute of Museum and Library 

Services (collectively, the Agencies) 

authority, provided certain conditions 

and requirements are met, to waive 

Federal statutory and regulatory 

requirements that inhibit access to 

assistance and effective service delivery 

for disconnected youth. 

P3 authorizes the Agencies to enter 

into Performance Partnership 

Agreements (performance agreements) 

with State, local, or Tribal governments. 

The performance agreements provide 

pilots with additional flexibility in the 

use of certain discretionary funds 

administered by the Agencies,7

including competitive and formula grant 

funds. Pilots must include two or more 

Federal programs (at least one of which 

is administered in whole or in part by 

a State, local, or Tribal government) that 

target disconnected youth or are 

designed to prevent youth from 

disconnecting from school or work, and 

that provide education, training, 

employment, and other related social 

services. Entities that seek to participate 

in these pilots must commit to 

achieving significant improvements in 

outcomes for disconnected youth in 

exchange for flexibility permitted under 

P3. The authorizing statute states that 

improving outcomes for disconnected 

youth means increasing the rate at 

which those individuals between the 

ages of 14 and 24 who are low-income
