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 

Opportunity Youth Evaluation Bundling 

study. The primary purpose of the study 

is to conduct an outcome evaluation on 

the common interventions of select 

AmeriCorps State and National grantees 

engaging opportunity youth as 

AmeriCorps members. The project is an 

effort to generate rigorous outcome 

evidence, leverage limited evaluation 

resources, and build the evaluation 

capacity of smaller AmeriCorps State 

and National grantees. Collection of this 

data is not required for obtaining grant 

funding support from CNCS. 

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 31, 2015.

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 

The primary purpose of the study is 

to conduct an outcome evaluation on 

the common interventions of select 

AmeriCorps State and National grantees 

engaging opportunity youth as 

AmeriCorps members. The project is an 

effort to generate rigorous outcome 

evidence, leverage limited evaluation 

resources, and build the evaluation 

capacity of smaller AmeriCorps State 

and National grantees. At the same time, 

it is an effort to test a new evaluation 

approach that has the potential to 

enhance the ability of any small 

program to gather and utilize outcome 

data. Collection of this data is not 

required for obtaining grant funding 

support from CNCS. 

Current Action 

This is a new information collection 

request. This study would administer a 

15 minute, online or telephone survey 

to opportunity youth who are engaged 

as AmeriCorps members in select 

programs participating in the study. 

Additionally, a statistically matched 

comparison group of opportunity youth 

not engaged as AmeriCorps members 

would receive the survey. The survey 

consists of three sections of questions 

querying respondents about educational 

attainment, employment status, and 

civic engagement, intending to assess 

educational, employment and civic 

engagement outcomes achieved as a 

result of participating in the 

AmeriCorps program. 

Type of Review: New. 

Agency: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

Title: Opportunity Youth Evaluation 

Bundling project. 

OMB Number: None. 

Agency Number: None. 

Affected Public: Opportunity youth 

engaged in select AmeriCorps State and 

National programs, and a group of 

statistically matched comparison youth 

not participating in an AmeriCorps State 

and National program. 

Total Respondents: 640. 

Frequency: Three times. 

Average Time per Response: Averages 

15 minutes. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 480. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

None.

maintenance): None. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of

information collection request; they will 

also become a matter of public record.
