Corporation for National and
Community Service.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Corporation for National
and Community Service (CNCS), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirement on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, CNCS is soliciting
comments concerning the Operation
AmeriCorps Evaluation. This two year
evaluation seeks to assess the
implementation of the new Operation
AmeriCorps initiative, and to report on
early results from the intended
outcomes of each grantee’s project. The
evaluation will examine the extent to
which multiple streams of national
service are integrated and complement
one another in each project; determine
whether and how community capacity
is being developed and sustained; and
examine the Operation AmeriCorps
grant making process to determine if
this type of grant could be successfully
used in future grants competitions.
Researchers from CNCS will collect
qualitative and quantitative data from
grantees and their partners, AmeriCorps
members, member supervisors, and
program beneficiaries. Operation
AmeriCorps grantees are required to
participate in the evaluation as a
condition of grant award.
Copies of the information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed in the Addresses section
of this Notice.

submitted to the individual and office
listed in the ADDRESSES section by
December 28, 2015.
