CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

Proposed Information Collection;
Comment Request
AGENCY:
Corporation for National and
Community Service.
ACTION: Notice.
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. Sec. 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 its proposed
AmeriCorps NCCC’s (National Civilian
Community Corps) Member Experience
Survey. This survey was developed to
support NCCC performance
measurement for use in program
development, funding, and evaluation.
The survey instrument will be
completed by NCCC Members following
the completion of their service term. In
particular, this survey will be
administered to NCCC Members who
are exiting early or have already exited
early from the AmeriCorps NCCC
program. Completion of this information
collection is not required for the
completion of a service term with
NCCC.
Copies of the information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed in the Addresses section
of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the individual and office
listed in the ADDRESSES section by May
31, 2016.

collection activity, by any of the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Barbara Lane, 202–606–6867, or by
email at blane@cns.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
CNCS is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of CNCS, including whether
the information will have practical
utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are expected to respond, including the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology
(e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses).
Background
This information collection serves as
part of an overall AmeriCorps NCCC
logic model to help measure the degree
to which the program is addressing the
statuary areas of national and
community needs in a way that
strengthens communities and builds
leaders. The survey will be
administered electronically to all
members departing early from the
program.
Current Action
This is a new information collection
request. The NCCC Member Experience
Survey consists of between 29 and 30
questions, depending on which

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 61 / Wednesday, March 30, 2016 / Notices
responses the respondents specify. All
Members departing early from
AmeriCorps NCC will receive their
survey as a single instrument. Each
NCCC Member will receive an
individual survey. The exact same
survey, not part of this information
collection request, is administered to all
graduating Members while they are in
service and closed for completion prior
to the completion of the program.
Type of Review: New.
Agency: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: NCCC Member Experience
Survey.
OMB Number: None.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: The NCCC Member
Experience Survey will be administered
to the former NCCC Member for their
most recent NCCC service term. These
Members will have served with
AmeriCorps NCCC for any length of
time, without graduating. There are
approximately 400 Members that depart
the program early each year. The early
exiting and former Members are
uniquely able to provide the
information sought in the NCCC
Member Experience Survey.
Total Respondents: Based on the
number of Members who have departed
the program early over the last five
annual years, NCCC expects to
administer 450 surveys each fiscal year
to Members who departed the program
early. These may not be unique
responders as a few Members may have
served with NCCC in a prior service
term.
Frequency: Biweekly. Each early
departed Member will complete only
one survey for their most recent service
term.
Average Time per Response: Averages
25 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 167
hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): None.
Comments submitted in response to
this Notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
