Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 16, 2013 / Notices 3403 

1See 17 CFR 145.9. 

An environmental assessment (EA) 

was prepared analyzing the effects of 

the permitted activities on the human 

environment in compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). Based on 

the analyses in the EA, NMFS 

determined that issuance of the permit 

would not significantly impact the 

quality of the human environment and 

that preparation of an environmental 

impact statement was not required. That 

determination is documented in a 

Finding of No Significant Impact 

(FONSI), signed on October 9, 2012. 

As required by the ESA, issuance of 

this permit was based on a finding that 

such permit: (1) Was applied for in good 

faith; (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered 

species; and (3) is consistent with the 

purposes and policies set forth in 

section 2 of the ESA.

26, the CFTC is posing survey questions 

to the public. Questions included in the 

survey will inquire as to how often the 

respondents would like to receive 

content from CFTC, the format in which 

the respondents would like to receive 

information, and the topics the 

information should cover. 

The Office of Consumer Outreach 

develops campaigns to change 

consumer behaviors, so that consumers 

can better avoid fraud as defined under 

the Commodities Exchange Act. The 

first campaign from the Office of 

Consumer Outreach involves utilizing 

government and non-profit agency 

distribution methods to provide antifraud information to consumers. This 

survey will assist the Office of 

Consumer Outreach in determining how 

the government and non-profit agencies 

would like to receive the anti-fraud 

information from the CFTC. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The Federal Register 

notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection 

of information was published on 

October 30, 2012. 

Burden statement: The Commission

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 (CNCS), as part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance 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. 

CNCS is soliciting comments 

concerning its proposed assessment of 

Training and Technical Assistance 

(TTA) investments. At present, 

assessment of TTA consists of analysis 

of client satisfaction feedback with 

aggregations of post training-participant 

evaluations collected thru TTA 

Providers funded under cooperative 

agreements. TTA Providers are required 

to report post-training outputs and 

customer satisfaction data covered 

under OMB Control #3045–0105. 

Additional pre- and post-knowledge 

gain assessments instruments are 

proposed to collect evidence of any 

learning that actually occurred as a 

result of the training or return on 

investment for the training cost. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the addresses section 

of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the individual and office 

listed in the ADDRESSES section by 

March 18, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by the title of the information 

collection activity, by any of the 

following methods: 

(1) By mail sent to: Corporation for 

National and Community Service; 

Attention: Ralph Morales, Associate 

Director for Administration and Budget, 

Room 9703; 1201 New York Avenue 

NW., Washington, DC 20525. 

(2) By hand delivery or by courier to 

the CNCS mailroom at Room 8100 at the 

mail address given in paragraph (1) 

above, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, 

except Federal holidays.

Attention: Ralph Morales, Associate 

Director for Budget and Administration.

a telecommunications device for the 

deaf (TTY–TTD) may call 1–800–833– 

3722 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ralph Morales, (202) 606–6829, or by 

email at rmorales@cns.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• 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 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 

CNCS provides TTA to its grantees in 

topic areas related to program quality, 

compliance, and performance 

measurement through an online 

learning site as well as through face-toface sessions conducted by consultants 

procured through contractors or 

cooperative agreements as well as CNCS 

staff. The effectiveness of this training 

and technical assistance is currently 

evaluated through analysis of client 

satisfaction feedback in aggregate form 

(see OMB Control #3045–0105). 

Current Action 

In addition to the data currently being 

collected, CNCS wishes to evaluate the 

knowledge gains of participants who 

partake in the training and technical 

assistance programs by administering 

pre- and post-test instruments to 

participants. CNCS will collect this 

information through specific online 

courses or face-to-face training 

designated as a part of the CNCS core 

curriculum. If the training is conducted 

through a grantee or contractor the 

contractor will collect on CNCS’ behalf. 

However CNCS will aggregate data 

across TTA activities for internal 

analysis. If the CNCS should itself 

conduct training and/or technical 

assistance, the same pre- and post-test 

instruments would be used to gather 

knowledge gain data. The information 

collection will be used to further 

evaluate the effectiveness of the 

Corporation’s training and technical 

assistance offerings to participants.

Agency: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

Title: Assessing the Impact of 

Training and Technical Assistance.

None. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/
