CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

Proposed Information Collection;

Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National

and Community Service (hereinafter the

‘‘Corporation’’), as part of its continuing

effort to reduce paperwork and

respondent burden, conducts a

preclearance 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. 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, the Corporation is

soliciting comments concerning its

request for approval of a new

information collection from

representatives of communities served

by organizations that conduct

community service activities under the

sponsorship of Corporation grants. This

information will be used by the

Corporation to evaluate the nature and

effectiveness of its national service

programs.

Copies of the proposed information

collection request may be obtained by

contacting the office listed below in the

ADDRESSES section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

ADDRESSES section by August 13, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the

Corporation for National and

Community Service Attn: Marcia Scott,

Office of Evaluation, 1201 New York

Avenue, N.W., 9th floor, Washington,

D.C. 20525.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marcia Scott, (202) 606–5000, ext. 100.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Corporation is particularly interested in

comments which:

• Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the Corporation, 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;

• Propose ways to enhance the

quality, utility and clarity of the

information to be collected; and

• Propose ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on those who are to respond, including

through 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 12, 2001 / Notices 31619

Background:

The Corporation for National Service

has the responsibility to evaluate the

effectiveness of its program. The

Corporation’s major initiative is

AmeriCorps, the national service

program funded at $360 million

annually. While the primary emphasis

of AmeriCorps is on providing services

to communities and other beneficiaries,

of key importance is participant

development. AmeriCorps includes the

State and National program and the

National Civilian Community Corps

(NCCC) program. The objectives of this

study are to describe the changes in

those outcomes over time; to identify

factors explaining variation in outcomes

at different stages of time; and to

identify relationships between selected

program features and member outcomes.

Outcome domains will include civic

engagement, educational skill aspiration

and achievements, employment skill

aspiration and achievements, and life

skills.

The Longitudinal Study of

AmeriCorps Member Outcomes is

designed to assess the effectiveness of

AmeriCorps programs in meeting these

objectives—member development

outcomes. Previously, the Corporation

received OMB approval (OMB # 3045–

0060, expires September 30, 2002 and

#3045–0070, expires September 31,

2003) to launch three rounds of surveys

of AmeriCorps members and their

counterparts in comparison groups.

Current Action

The Corporation seeks approval to

continue to study the impact of

AmeriCorps*State and National and

AmeriCorps*NCCC. This is a request to

add another round of data collection to

the study. The purpose of this

additional round of data collection is to

supplement data collected at baseline

and post-program and collect additional

information about participation in

service prior to AmeriCorps, and the

decision-making process concerning

enrolling or not enrolling in

AmeriCorps. In addition, the survey will

collect details about the AmeriCorps

experience of members, and

employment and educational

experiences of individuals in the

comparison group in the year after they

considered joining, but did not actually

join AmeriCorps. Analysis of baseline

data collected in the initial round of

surveys raised questions about

participants’ motivations about, and

previous involvement in, community

service. Data collected in the

supplemental survey will allow us to

address those concerns.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Agency: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

Title: The Longitudinal Research on

Member Outcomes.

OMB Number: #3045–0070.

Agency Number: None.

Affected Public: AmeriCorps

members, comparison group

individuals.

Total Respondents: 1600 (800

AmeriCorps members; 800 Comparison

group members).

Frequency: One time.

Average Time Per Response: 30

minutes.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 800

hours.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

None.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintenance): None.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for Office of

Management and Budget approval of the

information collection request; they also

will become a matter of public record.

Dated: June 6, 2001.
