Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Department of State’s Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA)
regularly monitors and evaluates its
programs through the collection of data
about program accomplishments in
order to enable program staff to assess
the results of its programs, where
improvements may be necessary, and to
modify/plan future programs. In order
to more systematically assess the
efficacy and impact of ECA fundedprograms and to address the
requirements of the Foreign Aid
Transparency and Accountability Act
(FATAA) and the Department of State’s
updated monitoring and evaluation
guidance (18 FAM 300), ECA’s
Evaluation Division has created a robust
performance monitoring framework that
is responsive to these directives,
measures programmatic goals and
objectives, and provides a
comprehensive view of overall Bureau
activities. The Monitoring Data for ECA
(MODE) Framework (https://
eca.state.gov/impact/eca-evaluationdivision/monitoring-data-eca-modeframework) includes a results
framework with indicators designed to
track program performance and the
direction, pace, and magnitude of
change of ECA programs—leading to
strengthened feedback mechanisms
resulting in more effective programs.
Each of these indicators has
corresponding data collection questions
defined so data will be collected
uniformly whether by the program
office, the Evaluation Division, or an
award recipient. Implementation of the
MODE Framework will enable ECA to
standardize and utilize its data in the
following ways:
• Assess data and performance metrics
to enhance program performance

• Inform strategic planning activities at
the Bureau, division, and individual
exchange program levels
• Supplement the information ECA
program officers receive from their
award recipients and exchange
participants to provide a
comprehensive view of programmatic
activities
• Respond quickly and reliably to adhoc requests from Congress, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB),
and internal Department of State
stakeholders
In order to collect data for the MODE
Framework, the ECA Evaluation
Division intends to conduct ongoing
surveys of program participants, alumni,
and participant host and home
communities to monitor program
performance, assess impact, and
identify issues for further evaluation.
Specifically, ECA will coordinate with
award recipients to provide standard
survey questions for both foreign
national and U.S. citizen exchange
participants immediately after
completing the exchange (‘‘Participant
Post-Program Survey’’). ECA’s
Evaluation Division also intends to
administer standard surveys to foreign
national and U.S. citizen exchange
alumni roughly one year, three years
and five years after completing their
exchange experience. Conducting postprogram surveys, particularly after three
and five years, will provide information
on the impact of ECA programs and
insight into the achievements of
participants.
To examine multiplier effects of ECA
exchange programs on foreign and U.S.
communities and institutions that
sponsor, support, or provide exchange
programs support or services, ECA
intends to administer standard surveys
to foreign and U.S. host community
members (individuals or institutions)
where feasible.
Methodology
In previous years, the ECA Evaluation
Division surveyed foreign alumni from
a sample of 10 ECA programs. The
suggested MODE Framework data
collections represent an expansion to
include American participants and
standardization of the data collection
tools. Additionally, ECA has not
collected these data in a systematic
manner from U.S. and foreign host
community members in the past.
Currently, ECA award recipients
administer post-program surveys to
their participants as part of their
internal program monitoring data
collection approach. ECA intends to
leverage this ongoing survey process by
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
providing program awardees standard
indicators (we estimate anywhere from
10–15 for each award) and
corresponding data collection questions,
depending on the program orientation.
In many instances, these standard
indicators and questions will supplant
existing awardee defined comparable
indicators and questions with ECA
defined uniform data requirements. This
will ensure the data ECA gathers are
valid and reliable across the range of
exchange programs.

unmanned free balloons, and small
unmanned aircraft) within the United
States. These reporting and
recordkeeping requirements are
necessary for the FAA to assure
compliance with these provisions.

Title: General Operating and Flight
Rules—FAR 91.
Form Numbers: None.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Background: The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following
collection of information was published
on March 31, 2020 (85 FR 17941). The
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements of Federal Aviation
Regulation (FAR) part 91, General
Operating and Flight Rules, are
authorized by part A of subtitle VII of
the revised title 49 of the United States
Code.
FAR part 91 prescribes rules
governing the operation of aircraft (other
than moored balloons, kites, rockets,
unmanned free balloons and small
unmanned aircraft) within the United
States. The reporting and recordkeeping
requirements prescribed by various
sections of FAR part 91 are necessary for
FAA to assure compliance with these
provisions. The information collected
becomes a part of FAA’s official records
and is used only by the FAA for
certification, compliance and
enforcement, and when accidents,
incidents, reports of noncompliance,
safety programs, or other circumstances
require reference to records. Without
this information, the FAA would be
unable to control and maintain the
consistently high level of civil aviation
safety we enjoy.
Respondents: Approximately 21,200
airmen, state or local governments, and
businesses.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: 30 minutes per response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
17,492 reporting hours; 212,074
recordkeeping hours; 229,566 total
hours.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of
Information Collection: Certification of
Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 14,
CFR
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our
intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to renew an information
collection. The Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of
information was published on March
20, 2020, no comments were received.
The collection involves the applicant
entering information onto and
submitting the FAA Form 8310–3,
Application for Repair Station
Certificate and/or Rating to the
appropriate FAA field office. Persons
requesting to obtain an initial Air
Agency Certificate to operate as an FAA
certificated repair station or request
changes to an existing repair station (air
agency) certificate do so by submitting
the request through the submission of
the FAA Form 8310–3. This form is
available to the applicant/respondent
via www.faa.gov, email, in person, or by
mail.
The FAA Form 8310–3, Application
for Repair Station Certificate and/or
Ratings captures information such as,
but not limited to; official name of
repair station, location where business
is conducted, official mailing address,
any doing business as name, changes in
ratings, or if initial certification, ratings
sought, changes in location or housing
and facilities, change in name or
ownership, or any other purpose for
which the applicant requests, including
a request for approval to contract
maintenance functions to outside
entities.
The FAA has identified an inaccuracy
in how burden calculations are

determined associated with initial
repair station certifications and
subsequent changes to an existing repair
station certificate. The FAA has
identified that the information collected
through the FAA Form 8310–3 does not
capture the entire repair station
certification activities or changes to an
existing certificate. OMB Control
Number 2120–0682 is not only
authorizing the Agency to receive
information collected on the FAA Form
8310–3, but should also encapsulate the
entire calculation burden associated
with repair station certification and
subsequent changes to an existing
certificate.
Once burden calculations associated
with repair station certification
activities are properly assessed, the FAA
will publish a new notice to the Federal
Register capturing the entire burden
calculation for repair station
certification and subsequent changes to
an existing certificate.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted by July 6, 2020.
