Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 3, 2009 / Notices 9213 

Reporting requirement for funded 

projects include a report to the Secretary 

describing the activities carried out in 

the preceding fiscal year, including, but 

not limited to, a description of technical 

assistance provided by the Center; the 

total number and a description of the 

sub-grants provided; a complete listing 

of cases in which the activities of the 

Center have resulted in increased access 

to healthy, affordable foods, such as 

fresh fruit and vegetables, particularly 

for school-aged children and 

individuals in low income 

communities; and a determination of 

whether the activities identified are 

sustained during the years following the 

initial provision of technical assistance 

and sub-grants. 

Additional Supplementary Information 

It is anticipated that the competitive 

RFA will request applications within 60 

days of issue. Proposals will be accepted 

through Grants.gov. All proposals 

meeting requirements of the RFA will be 

peer reviewed in a CSREES competitive 

process with one single award for 

approximately 1 million dollars (less 

administrative costs). It is anticipated 

that this will be a continuation award 

with the potential for three years of 

funding. A continuation is an award 

instrument by which the CSREES agrees 

to support a specified level of effort for 

a predetermined period of time with a 

statement of intention to provide 

additional support at a future date, 

provided that performance has been 

satisfactory, appropriations are available 

for this purpose, and continued support 

would be in the best interest for the 

Federal government and the public. 

Implementation Plans 

CSREES plans to consider stakeholder 

input received from written comments 

in developing competitive RFAs and 

implementing regulations for this 

program. CSREES anticipates releasing a 

RFA for fiscal year 2009 funds by April 

2009.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

Agency: U.S. Census Bureau. 

Title: Generic Clearance for 2010 

Census Program for Evaluations and 

Experiments. 

Form Number(s): Various. 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Burden Hours: 26,854. 

Number of Respondents: 1,815,000. 

Average Hours per Response: Between 

7 and 10 minutes. 

Needs and Uses: As with previous 

decennial censuses dating back to 1950, 

the U.S. Census Bureau has undertaken 

the 2010 Census Program for 

Evaluations and Experiments (CPEX) to 

examine methodologies, techniques, 

and strategies that will potentially 

improve the way it conducts the next 

decennial census. The 2010 CPEX will 

guide future census design, as well as 

benefit other ongoing programs 

conducted by the Census Bureau, such 

as the American Community Survey. 

The 2010 CPEX includes four 

experiments and over 20 evaluations. 

This request for OMB approval covers 

all four experiments and four of the 20 

evaluations. For the remaining 16 

evaluations in the 2010 CPEX, some do 

not involve data collections and do not 

require OMB approval; others are still in 

development, and will be submitted for 

OMB clearance at a later time. The four 

experimental studies are as follows: 

2010 Alternative Questionnaire 

Experiment (AQE); 2010 Nonresponse 

Followup (NRFU) Contact Strategy 

Experiment; 2010 Deadline Messaging 

(DM)/Compressed Schedule (CS) 

Experiment; and 2010 Privacy 

Notification (PN) Experiment. The four 

evaluations are as follows: 2010 AQE 

Reinterview Evaluation; 2010 Content 

Reinterview Evaluation; 2010 

Alternative Group Quarters (GQ) 

Questionnaire Evaluation; and the 2010 

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) 

Customer Satisfaction Survey 

Evaluation. The Census Bureau 

identified the need to include the IVR 

Customer Satisfaction Survey 

Evaluation in this generic clearance 

package after the publication of the presubmission notice in the Federal 

Register on September 24, 2008. The 

Census Bureau and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) have 

discussed and agree on the inclusion of 

the IVR Customer Satisfaction Survey 

Evaluation in this package. 

All of the experiments and 

evaluations are primarily designed for 

use by the Census Bureau and will 

inform early 2020 testing and planning. 

These experiments and evaluations are 

designed to identify improvements for 

the next decennial census. Census 

Bureau managers and planners will use 

results from these studies to focus 2020 

decennial census planning and research. 

This request is for a generic clearance, 

which seeks to gain pre-approval for the 

evaluations and experiments listed 

above. General descriptions of each 

activity, and as much detail as can be 

provided presently are provided to OMB 

in this clearance request. However, 

some details and the forms to be utilized 

are not finalized as of the date of this 

submission and are not provided to 

OMB in the clearance request. These
