Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on November 25, 2011. This comment period ended January 24, 
2012. One public comment was received from this Notice, submitted by 
the Washington Commission for National & Community Service 
(``Commission''). The Commission recommended removing ``active duty'' 
from the survey question about veteran status, and CNCS removed 
``active duty'' from the survey. The Commission questioned whether it 
was necessary to collect respondents' income and household size data. 
CNCS omitted these questions from the survey. The Commission 
recommended adding ``transfer of the Siegel Education Award to a family 
member'' as a possible motivation for Senior Corps volunteers to serve. 
CNCS added this to the survey. The Commission suggested clarifying the 
term ``supervisor/team leader'' in the survey. CNCS program offices 
provided accurate wording for supervisors and team leaders, and these 
were added to the survey.
    Description: The Corporation is seeking approval of the 
Understanding the Value of Service in Participants' Experience survey, 
which is used by participants in and recent alumni of AmeriCorps and 
Senior Corps to describe their satisfaction with involvement in CNCS-
supported service initiatives. CNCS wishes to understand participants' 
perspectives on the entry process, the service experience, and the 
impact of serving. The information will be used to better understand 
participants' satisfaction with CNCS programs and how various aspects 
of the service experience relate to participant satisfaction.
