service members, community members, 

and partner organization staff. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 610 responses. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 232 hours. 

Abstract: The purpose of this 

evaluation is to provide insight on the 

implementation of the climate change 

bundle programs and explore variation 

in activities for education and training, 

disaster response, conservation, wildfire 

mitigation, and energy efficiency. It will 

explore the ways in which the programs 

influence community resilience. It will 

also examine changes in attitudes and 

behaviors toward civic engagement 

among national service members and 

the development of job skills, including 

skills for green jobs. Finally, it will 

examine how the programs are serving 

vulnerable communities and at-risk 

populations. The research questions for 

this evaluation will be: 

1. How do programs/members 

connect their work to climate change? 

2. To what extent does the program 

include opportunities to increase 

equity? 

3. To what extent is the program 

operating as intended? 

4. What are some promising practices 

and some challenges in implementing 

the climate change grant programs? 

5. What were the barriers and 

facilitators to meet the intended 

outcomes of the program? 

6. What are the lessons learned that 

can inform the field or be useful for 

practitioners that work in this space? 

7. What is the likelihood that the 

program will be sustained beyond the 

grant? 

8. How were the communities and 

community members impacted by 

climate change prior to the program? 

9. What types of communities are 

being helped by the climate change 

grant programs? 

10. To what extent are programs 

focused on vulnerable populations and 

communities? 

11. What are the demographic 

characteristics of national service 

members (e.g., gender, age, race, 

ethnicity, education)? 

12. How did the COVID–19 pandemic 

affect program operations? 

13. How did the COVID–19 pandemic 

affect national service members? 

14. What partner organizations are 

involved (e.g., community 

organizations, local agencies)? What are 

their roles in the program? 

15. What is the breadth (number and 

type of partnership), quality, and 

quantity of the partnership(s) (number 

and frequency of joint activities and 

their strength)? 

16. How were partnerships built and 

maintained? 

17. How do grantee and sponsor 

organizations work with partners to 

build community resilience? 

18. To what extent do the climate 

change grant programs: 

a. improve energy efficiency and 

increase the use of renewable energy 

sources? 

b. help communities prepare, 

respond, and recover from natural 

disasters and other climate change 

effects? 

c. preserve public lands and 

waterways and protect or restore 

biodiversity? 

d. increase community members’ 

knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors 

around climate change? 

e. build capacity of the community to 

be resilient? 

19. How do the climate change grant 

programs lead to increased civic 

engagement? 

20. In what ways does participation in 

the climate change grant programs 

influence national service members’ job 

skills development toward green jobs? 

21. To what extent does participation 

in the climate change grant programs: 

a. increase national service members’ 

functional and technical job skills? 

b. increase national service members’ 

interest/willingness to pursue a career 

in a green job?

considered public records. 

Title of Collection: Study of the 

Impact of English Learner 

Reclassification Policies. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, and Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 30. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 817. 

Abstract: The data collection 

described in this submission will assist 

policymakers in understanding the 

impact of reclassification policies that 

exit students from English learner (EL) 

status. Specifically, the study will 

examine (1) whether reclassification 

was implemented more consistently 

across districts within states after the 

start of the Every Student Succeeds Act 

(ESSA) and (2) whether reclassification 

at current thresholds helps, harms, or is 

neutral for former ELs’ instructional 

opportunities, experiences, 

achievement, and attainment. Data for 

the study will come from extant state 

longitudinal data systems and publicly 

available data on state policies.
