SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
GSA’s OCS currently provides service
to citizens through the Internet at
USA.gov, GobiernoUSA.gov and a
family of consumer Web sites, through
the phone at the National Contact
Center 1–800–FED–INFO (1–800–333–
4636), and through the distribution of
print publications from the distribution
center in Pueblo, CO. In addition, OCS
communicates with the public through
e-mail, an online blog at https://
www.govgab.gov and online personal
assistance.
Additional market research is needed
on a continual basis to develop
customer service strategies and
determine the future directions for our
multi-channel efforts at OCS and for
those customer service activities in
other government agencies. This is
especially true in the current Web 2.0
environment where citizens,
particularly in Generation X and Y, have
different communication and
collaboration styles and needs. Since
citizens expect their government
experience to be on par with those they
have with the private sector, it is crucial
to determine how best the government
can serve citizens in a world with
rapidly changing technologies. Surveys
will include questions regarding
communication channel preferences for
how citizens contact government,
service level expectations and interests
in social media and Web 2.0
applications. OCS will share this
information and collaborate with all
government agencies that are working to
improve citizen engagement and
customer service.
OCS will work with a market research
vendor that has an established panel of
Americans who have agreed to take

surveys for various clients. Therefore,
OCS will not be collecting or storing any
personally identifiable information. The
vendor will also provide support in: (a)
The development of questions; (b)
building, programming and
disseminating the online surveys; and
(c) analyzing the responses. OCS will
work with the contractor to ensure that
the citizens recruited and surveyed
represent a statistically valid
demographic cross section of the
American public.

Proposed Project: ‘‘Evaluate the
Advancing Systems Improvements to
Support Targets for Healthy People 2010
(ASIST2010) Program’’—OMB No.
0990–NEW—Office on Women’s Health.
Abstract: The Office on Women’s
Health is collecting data from 13 funded
grantees and clients participating in
ASIST2010, a three-year, cooperative
agreement program. ASIST2010 uses a
public health systems approach to
improve performance on two or more of
seven Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010)
objectives that target women and/or
men in six focus areas—cancer,
diabetes, heart disease and stroke,
access to quality health services,
educational and community-based
programs, nutrition and overweight, and
physical activity and fitness. The goals
of the ASIST2010 program are to: (1)
Provide additional support to existing
public health systems/collaborative
partnerships to enable them to add a
gender focus to HP 2010 objectives that
track the health status of women and/or
men, to help improve gender outcome
in the targeted population and/or
geographic area; (2) improve
surveillance/information systems that
allow tracking of program progress on
HP 2010 objectives at the grantee level;
and (3) develop and implement a plan
to sustain the program after OWH
funding ends. The sites participating in
the ASIST2010 program represent four
academic medical centers, three
community-based organizations, two
hospitals, two state health departments,
one county health department, and one
foundation.

Title: Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Relationship Quality Survey.
OMB No.: 0970–0308.
Description: The Promoting Safe and
Stable Families Amendments of 2001
(Pub. L. 107–133) amended Title IV–B
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629–629e) to provide funding for

with an incarcerated parent or parents.
The Family and Youth Services Bureau
(FYSB) of the Administration for

The MCP program creates lasting, highquality one-to-one mentoring
relationships that provide young people
with caring adult role models. The
quality of these relationships is an
important indicator of success in
mentoring programs. Previous research
has shown an association between highquality mentoring relationships and
positive changes in youth behavior
associated with positive youth benefits,
such as improved school attendance,
