Title of Collection: National Study to Inform the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC) Program. OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. Type of Review: New information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,228. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 397. Abstract: The 21st CCLC program funds services during non-school hours, primarily during the school year. The services aim to help students meet state academic standards, particularly for students in low-performing schools that serve high concentrations of low-income families. Most participants (71 percent) are students attending afterschool centers during the school year, with the remainder being family members (14 percent) or summer attendees (15 percent). Afterschool centers supported by program funds provide a broad range of activities and services, such as academic enrichment, physical activity, service learning, and activities to engage families. Program activities and services may play a crucial role in addressing the substantial learning loss and other challenges that have occurred as a result of the COVID–19 pandemic. This study will have two components. The first is a national snapshot of strategies that afterschool centers in the 21st CCLC program use to serve their students and families. The national snapshot will complement and extend information from the program’s annual performance measures by providing an in-depth understanding of the key outcomes centers aim to promote and the diverse ways their activities and services for students and families, supports for staff, and improvement E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM 17FEN1
