Notice of information collection
for review by OMB and public comment
on Peace Corps’ Intention to Conduct A
Survey of and Focus Groups with
Returned Peace Corps Volunteers.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act, this notice
invites the public to comment on the
collection of information by the Peace
Corps and gives notice of the Peace
Corps’ intention to request Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of the information collection.
The Peace Corps’ Office of Strategic
Information, Research and Planning
wishes to survey a sample of Returned
Peace Corps Volunteers about their incountry experience, post-service
transition, post-service education and
career, and their third core goal
activities of promoting a better
understanding of other peoples on the
part of Americans. In concert with the
survey, the Peace Corps’ Office of
Strategic Information, Research and
Planning also wishes to conduct focus
groups with Returned Peace Corps
Volunteers (RPCVs) about their postservice education and career. The data
collected from both the survey and the
focus groups will inform agency
programming and help the Agency to

Sfmt 4703
assess, based on analysis of this 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 rated
as useful by RPCVs. The data will be
used by the Peace Corps’ Office of
Strategic Information, Research and
Planning to support Agency level
reporting. Submit comments on or
before sixty days from June 29, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
addressed to Susan Jenkins, Office of
Strategic Information, Research and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Susan Jenkins, Office of Strategic
Information, Research and Planning,
Peace Corps, 1111 20th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20526.
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, post-service transition, postservice 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 the Peace Corps
Response program), 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.
The focus group questions focus on a
subset of the topics asked about through
the survey. Specifically, the focus
groups will provide more detailed
responses from RPCVs about the effect
of the Peace Corps on their subsequent
career choices and paths.
Respondents: Returned Peace Corps
Volunteers.
Respondents’ Obligation To Reply:
Voluntary.
