# 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 pre-clearance 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 proposed collection request for the National Evaluation of School-Based Learn and Serve America Teacher Recruitment Process. The Teacher Recruitment Process will identify and recruit teachers for participation in the National Evaluation of School-Based Learn and Serve America. The sample of teachers for recruitment will be selected based on interviews with district administrators and school principals. Selection will be limited to teachers in schools that have implemented or are implementing Learn and Serve America funded service-learning programs. Teachers identified by administrators and principals as those that have implemented high quality service-learning projects will be asked to complete a Teacher Information Form, which will collect information on the types of courses in which teachers have and will implement service-learning projects and the extent to which past service-learning projects have incorporated standards for high quality service-learning. Participation in the information collection is voluntary and will not be used in grant funding decisions.

                        Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the                         **addresses**                         section of this notice.
