Abstract of proposed collection:
This request for a new information
collection will allow ECA/P/V to
conduct a survey to provide data not
currently available. The survey is
designed to assess the effectiveness of
the YTYA Program in achieving its
stated goals and objectives, and assess
the outcomes of this two-way, bi-lateral
exchange program that included 235
young Turkish and young American
participants from 2009 to 2011. This
study is authorized by the Mutual
Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, as amended (also known as the
Fulbright-Hays Act) (22 U.S.C. 2451 et
seq.). The survey will be sent
electronically to be completed via web
survey to all program participants of the
years stated above. Data gathered will
enable analysis that can potentially be
used to design similar bi-lateral
exchange programs, improve existing
programs, and to inform ongoing and
future exchange programs in ECA.
Methodology:
The survey and all notifications will
be entirely electronic to ease any burden
on the participant. The survey will be
distributed and responses received

Based upon a review of the
Administrative Record assembled in
this matter, and in consultation with the

organization have changed in such a
manner as to warrant revocation of the
designation.

designation of the Moroccan Islamic
Combatant Group as a foreign terrorist
organization, pursuant to Section 219 of
the Immigration and Nationality Act, as
amended (8 U.S.C. 1189), shall be
revoked.
