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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Propose ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

to those who are to respond, including

submissions of responses. 

Background 

The Corporation has contracted with 

the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of 

Government to carry out a Field 

Network Pilot Study to analyze the 

potential for increasing the number of 

VISTA cost-share members. The Pilot 

Study will consider the implications of 

such expansion for the organizations 

where VISTA members serve 

(hereinafter ‘‘sponsors’’), given the 

Corporation’s commitment to serve 

communities in need. 

The Field Network Pilot Study VISTA 

Cost-Sharing Report Form and Survey 

will be used to assess the reasons why 

some sponsors cost-share and others do 

not; the effects of cost-sharing on 

sponsors; the potential for sponsors who 

are not currently cost-sharing to do so 

successfully in the future; current and 

potential sources of cost-share funds; 

and what actions the Corporation 

should take to help sponsors cost-share. 

Independent, local field researchers will 

be employed in collecting the 

information. During the data-gathering 

phase the researchers will refer to 

background information about the 

Corporation, the VISTA program, and 

the Field Network method.

Community Service.

on those who are to respond, including

Background: The Volunteer Surveys 

were conducted in 2004 for all three 

Senior Corps programs (RSVP, Foster 

Grandparents, and Senior Companions) 

to measure outcomes related to the 

benefits of service for senior volunteers. 

Using administrative data on the age 

distribution of volunteers for Senior 

Corps volunteers, the 2006 surveys will 

be sent to a targeted sample of RSVP 

volunteers who are Baby Boomers, and 

the survey will be revised so that the 

results will inform the management of a 

program that is heavily involved in 

recruiting Baby Boomers to national and 

community service. 

Current Action: The Corporation is 

requesting comments on plans to revise 

the survey of Volunteers in RSVP 

(Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), 

one of the three main Senior Corps 

programs. This study is being conducted 

under contract with Westat, Inc. to 

collect information about local project 

volunteer outputs and outcomes. This 

information is to be used by the 

Corporation in preparing its Annual 

Performance Reports and to help 

program managers to improve the 

quality of services provided and will aid 

the Corporation in making grant 

decisions as well as for responding to ad 

hoc requests from Congress and other 

interested parties.
