Estimated Time per Respondent: 10 minutes. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,000. Frequency of Response: On Occasion—once at the workshop and a follow-up six months later. Presidential Executive Order 13397 directs the Center for Faith-based and Community Initiatives at DHS (CFBCI) to develop and coordinate Departmental outreach efforts to disseminate information more effectively to faithbased and other community organizations and the CFBCI’s regional workshops are a piece of that outreach effort. The regional workshops are intended to increase the participation of FBCOs in federally-sponsored programs and activities, and thus qualify as a pilot program. Pursuant to the President’s Management Agenda, DHS is required to perform outcomes based evaluations of these pilot programs. The data collected will be used to evaluate whether such the intended increase in participation by faith-based and community organizations has occurred. The information is to be used by the CFBCI to measure the effectiveness of its regional workshops, i.e., to determine VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:30 Jun 12, 2007 Jkt 211001 whether the workshops result in greater participation by faith-based and community organizations in DHSsponsored programs and activities. The CFBCI will share the date with the White House Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives and the Office of Management Budget in connection with the evaluation of the workshop pilot program. This is a new collection. Charlie Church, Chief Information Officer, National Protection and Programs Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
