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.

Member Outcomes.

will become a matter of public record.

requires that the contractor provide to

the contracting officer: (1) Upon request,

a copy of the contractor’s existing tariffs;

to be furnished solely or primarily to the

Government, and, upon request, a copy

of all information, material, and data

developed or prepared in support of or

in connection with such an application;

and, (3) a notification to the contracting

officer of any application submitted by

anyone other than the contractor that
