SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Generic Clearance 

for the Collection of Pilot and Test Data. 

OMB Control Number: 3045–0163. 

Type of Review: Revision. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and Households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 21,910. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 2,064. 

Abstract: This information collection 

will enable pilot testing of survey 

instruments in an efficient, timely 

manner, in accordance with the 

Administration’s commitment to 

improving service delivery. By pilot 

testing we mean information that 

provides useful insights on how 

respondents interact with the 

instrument, but are not statistical 

surveys that yield quantitative results 

that can be generalized to the 

population of study. This feedback will 

provide insights into customer or 

stakeholder perceptions, experiences 

and expectations regarding prospective 

studies. It will also allow feedback to 

contribute directly to the improvement 

of research program management. 

The Agency will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary;

• The collections are low-burden for

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address the target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. The information 

collection will be used in the same 

manner as the existing application; 

however, a revision is being sought to 

accommodate increased pilot testing. 

AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using 

the current generic clearance until the 

revised collection is approved by OMB. 

The current expiration of the OMB 

Control Number is April 30, 2024. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services
