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. Sec. 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, CNCS is soliciting 

comments concerning its proposed 

School Turnaround AmeriCorps Grantee 

Progress Report (GPR). All AmeriCorps 

grantees are required to complete a GPR, 

which is due in October, to complete an 

abbreviated mid-year GPR due in April, 

and to complete a final GPR within 90 

days of grant closeout. The GPR 

provides information for CNCS staff to 

monitor grantee progress and to respond 

to requests from Congress and other 

stakeholders. 

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 

December 30, 2013.

Comments 

A 60-day Notice requesting public 

comment was published in the Federal 

Register on July 22, 2013. This comment 

period ended September 20, 2013. 

Seven entities provided comments. 

Individual comments and the 

disposition of each are addressed below. 

Three commenters asked which 

grantees and subgrantees complete 

which version of the GPR and whether 

separate sets of instructions are needed 

for state commissions. Commission 

subgrantees and national grantees that 

were new or recompete applicants 

during the 2013 competition are subject 

to the new GPR instructions. All other 

subgrantees and national grantees are 

subject to the old instructions as revised 

in this clearance. Commissions that 

have both types of subgrantees on the 

same prime grant will complete two 

separate progress reports, one for each 

type of grantee. Starting with the 2014 

grant year, all subgrantees and national 

grantees will use the new instructions. 

The following chart illustrates which 

2013 grantees and subgrantees are 

subject to which set of GPR instructions: 

Type of grantee Type of applicant in 2013 Old GPR 

instructions 

New GPR 

instructions Notes 

National ............................. New or recompete ........... ........................ X 

Continuation ..................... X ........................

State Subgrantee .............. New or recompete ........... ........................ X Commission completes one prime GPR for this set 

of subgrantees. 

Continuation ..................... X ........................ Commission completes one prime GPR for this set 

of subgrantees. 

CNCS will continue to use one set of 

instructions for all grantees. The 

reporting screens are nearly identical for 

state commissions and national 

grantees, more so than in the previous 

iteration of the GPR, which had a single 

set of instructions. 

Five commenters stated that the 

burden of the new GPR is higher than 

the old GPR and that the burden is 

higher for state commissions than it is 

for national grantees. While the change 

in the way MSYs are reported will 

increase burden, we believe that this is 

balanced by the reduction in the 

number of demographic indicators and, 

for state commissions, a decrease in 

burden associated with providing 

explanations regarding formula 

subgrantees, which is no longer 

required. Also, automated completion 

checks will not allow incomplete 

progress reports to be submitted which 

will result in less back and forth 

between CNCS and grantees. Lastly, 

CNCS has decided to collect MSY data 

at the strategic plan level only, not at 

the performance measure level, to 

minimize burden. 

CNCS acknowledges that the level of 

burden is higher for some commissions 

with a large number of subgrantees or 

multiple prime grants than for other 

commissions and national grantees. 

Based on comments and the inclusion of 

the final GPR due at grant closeout, 

CNCS has increased the burden 

estimate. 

Four commenters focused on the 

timeline and testing of the new GPR. 

CNCS cannot delay the new GPR. Very 

little new information is required to 

complete this report. Although the 

demographic indicators have been 

revised, all new indicators are optional. 

No changes have been made to 

mandatory demographic indicators or to 

the information collected in the 

performance measures section of the 

GPR. The narrative questions require 

synthesis of information about program 

activity that is readily available through 

routine monitoring and technical 

assistance that is already being 

conducted. The due date of the end-ofyear GPR will not change. Three rounds 

of user acceptance testing were 

completed by AmeriCorps program staff 

in June and July 2013. 

Three commenters focused on 

changes in the demographics tab 

concerning what is being collected and 

the utility of some indicators. The 

demographic indicators have been 

revised so that they are consistent with 

the CNCS strategic plan and the Serve 

America Act. 

Three commenters focused on the 

Member Service Year (MSY) tab and the 

burden associated with reporting MSYs 

and member activity. Reporting MSYs 

and member activity at the level of 

strategic plan objective, rather than 

focus area, is critical for CNCS to 

understand the value of its investment 

relative to its strategic plan. Member 

counts at the strategic objective level 

allow CNCS to state how many members 

are performing activities under each 

strategic plan objective. CNCS has 

chosen not to collect MSY and member 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

65300 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 211 / Thursday, October 31, 2013 / Notices 

activity data at the performance 

measurement level, thereby reducing 

burden. 

Six commenters focused on CNCS’s 

expectation that programs aim to 

achieve 100% retention, reliance on 

data from the portal, and the 

mechanisms for providing comments on 

this data. The data in the performance 

indicator tab (enrollment, retention, 30- 

day enrollment and 30-day exit data) 

will refresh for each reporting period. In 

response to comments, CNCS will only 

require this tab for the end-of-year GPR 

due in October 2014 and each year 

thereafter, and the instructions have 

been updated to reflect this change. 

CNCS will request an IT enhancement 

to add a warning to the performance 

indicators tab that the data cannot be 

refreshed once it has been populated. 

CNCS recognizes that retention rates 

may vary among effective programs 

depending on the program model. CNCS 

will continue to request explanations for 

any retention rate below 100%. Text 

boxes are provided for grantees to 

comment on data from the portal that 

requires explanation. 

Three commenters focused on 

requiring explanations for incomplete 

data (performance indicators and 

performance measures) in the mid-year 

GPR. CNCS will not include the 

performance indicators tab in the midyear GPR. We have updated the 

instructions for the mid-year GPR with 

instructions to enter ‘‘NA’’ in the 

outcome explanation fields as it is a 

system requirement that some text be 

entered in these fields. 

Two commenters focused on changes 

in the performance measurement data 

collected. The performance measure 

section of the new GPR requires no data 

that was not collected in the old GPR. 

One commenter suggested that CNCS 

should collect performance 

measurement data as percentages rather 

than numerical values. Whole numbers 

are required so that data can be 

aggregated across programs. 

Five commenters stated that 

instructions for narrative questions are 

not clear to state commissions. We have 

added additional information in the 

instructions to clarify how state 

commissions should address the 

narrative questions. 

Description: CNCS is seeking approval 

of AmeriCorps State and National

by grantees to provide information for 

CNCS staff to monitor grantee progress
