Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / Notices 4785 

Corps’ 2009 to 2014 strategic plan, is to 

‘‘Foster outreach to Americans through 

agency programs that assist Volunteers 

and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers to 

help promote a better understanding of 

other peoples on the part of 

Americans.’’ The Agency meets this goal 

through programs that encourage 

outreach to the American public 

through a variety of means such as 

personal interaction, electronic 

communication, and cross-cultural 

education curricula. The challenge for 

the Peace Corps in advancing such 

outreach is to ensure that the programs 

are publicized and on target in matching 

Volunteers and RPCVs with appropriate 

audiences, and that the agency uses 

technology effectively. The agency 

administers a Volunteer survey and 

project specific surveys to gather 

information about how active 

Volunteers support this goal. But, there 

is no similar mechanism for gathering 

such information from Returned 

Volunteers. These focus groups will be 

conducted to test the assumption that 

promoting a better understanding of the 

cultures in which they served is a 

lifelong commitment that becomes 

integrated into their lives but that 

RPCVs do not necessarily report such 

interactions to the agency. These focus 

groups will provide an opportunity for 

in-depth discussion with RPCVs about 

the long-term outcomes of their Service 

on their promotion of a better 

understanding of other peoples on the 

part of Americans. The information 

gathered will be used by the Office of 

Strategic Information, Research and 

Planning to identify the breadth and 

scope of third core goal activities by 

Returned Volunteers.

PEACE CORPS 

Notice of Information Collection 

AGENCY: Peace Corps. 

ACTION: Notice and request for OMB 

review and comment. 

Title: Survey of Returned Peace Corps 

Volunteers. 

SUMMARY: The Peace Corps has 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for clearance, a 

proposal for collection of information 

under the provisions of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. The proposed 

collection will survey a sample of 

Returned Peace Corps Volunteers about 

their thoughts about their in-country 

experience, post-service transition, postservice education and career, and their 

third core goal activities of promoting a 

better understanding of other peoples on 

the part of Americans. The data 

collected will inform agency 

programming and help the Agency to 

assess, through updated and objective 

data, the extent of RPCVs’ cross-cultural 

activities with their family, friends, and 

communities throughout the United 

States with whom RPCVs come in 

contact. The data will be used 

specifically by the Office of Domestic 

Programs to review the range and type 

of services and support available to 

RPCVs and by the Office of Strategic 

Information, Research, and Planning to 

support Agency level reporting. The 

initial Federal Register notice was 

published on December 2, 2008, Volume 

73, No. 232, pgs. 73356–73357 for 60 

days. Also available at GPO Access: 

http://wais.access.gpo.gov. No 

comments, inquiries or responses to the 

notice were received. A copy of the 

proposed information collections can be 

obtained from Susan Jenkins, Office of 

Strategic Information, Research and 

Planning, Peace Corps, 1111 20th Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20526. Dr. 

Jenkins can be contacted by telephone at

SJenkin2@peacecorps.gov. E-mail 

comments must be made in text and not 

in attachments. Comments on the 

collections should be addressed to the 

attention of Dr. Jenkins and should be 

received on or before February 26, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to the Peace Corps Desk Officer,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Survey of Returned Peace Corps 

Volunteers. 

Need for and Use of This Information: 

The survey is the fourth in a series of 

Returned Peace Corps Volunteer surveys 

that have been administered 

approximately every ten years. This 

iteration will be a voluntary, Web-based 

survey to gather information about 

Volunteers’ in-country experience, postservice transition, post-service 

education and career, and their third 

goal activities of promoting a better 

understanding of other peoples on the 

part of Americans. The data will be used 

to assess the range and type of services 

available to RPCVs, improve Peace 

Corps operations (e.g., recruitment for 

PC Response), and support Agency level 

performance reporting. Where possible, 

data will be compared across surveys to 

look for trends over time. Data will be 

collected from a simple random sample 

of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers 

sufficient to gather data with a 99 

percent confidence level and a 

confidence interval of plus or minus 5. 

Respondents: Returned Peace Corps 

Volunteers.
