Title of Collection: AmeriCorps
Program Life Cycle Evaluation—Climate
Change Bundled Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 3045–NEW.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public: Grantee
organization project director and staff,
national service members, partner
organization staff.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 611.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 235.
Abstract: The purpose of this
evaluation is to provide insight on the
implementation of the climate change
bundle programs and explore variation
in activities for education and training,
disaster response, conservation, wildfire
mitigation, and energy efficiency. It will
explore the ways in which the programs
influence community resilience. It will
also examine changes in attitudes and
behaviors toward civic engagement
among national service members and
the development of job skills, including
skills for green jobs. Finally, it will
examine how the programs are serving
vulnerable communities and at-risk
populations. The research questions for
this evaluation are:
1. How do programs/members
connect their work to climate change?
2. To what extent does the program
include opportunities to increase
equity?
3. To what extent is the program
operating as intended?
4. What are some promising practices
and challenges in implementing the
climate change grant programs?
5. What were the barriers and
facilitators to meet the intended
outcomes of the program?
6. What are the lessons learned that
can inform the field or be useful for
practitioners that work in this space?
7. What is the likelihood that the
program will be sustained beyond the
grant?
8. How were the communities and
community members impacted by
climate change prior to the program?
9. What types of communities are
being helped by the climate change
grant programs?
10. To what extent are programs
focused on vulnerable populations and
communities?
11. What are the demographic
characteristics of national service
members (e.g., gender, age, race,
ethnicity, education)?
12. What partner organizations are
involved (i.e., community organizations,

local agencies)? What are their roles in
the program?
13. What is the breadth (number and
type of partnership), quality, and
quantity of the partnership(s) (number
and frequency of joint activities and the
strength)?
14. How were partnerships built and
maintained?
15. How do grantee and sponsor
organizations work with partners to
build community resilience?
16. To what extent do the climate
change grant programs: (a.) improve
energy efficiency and increase the use of
renewable energy sources? (b.) help
communities prepare, respond, and
recover from natural disasters and other
climate change effects? (c.) preserve
public lands and waterways and protect
or restore biodiversity? (d.) increase
community members’ knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors around climate
change? (e.) build capacity of the
community to be resilient?
17. How do the climate change grant
programs lead to increased civic
engagement?
18. In what ways does participation in
the climate change grant programs
influence national service members’ job
skills development toward green jobs?
19. To what extent does participation
in the climate change grant programs:
(a.) increase national service members’
functional and technical job skills? (b.)
increase national service members’
interest/willingness to pursue a career
in a green job? (c.) lead to a job after
their service? (d.) lead to a career in a
green job after their service?
This bundled evaluation of grantees is
being conducted by ICF through a
contract with AmeriCorps; it will have
an explicit emphasis on activities
related to addressing climate change. By
bundling, this evaluation combines a
group of state commissions with similar
program approaches into a single
evaluation. Spanning 32 months, the
evaluation includes up to 30 grantees to
examine program design,
implementation, and outcomes using
surveys, interviews, and focus groups
with a wide range of stakeholders
including grantee staff, partner
organizations, national service
members, and community members.
This is a new information collection.

OMB for clearance the following
proposal for collection of information
under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received by December 23,
2022.
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Defense
Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 227.71,
Rights in Technical Data, and Subpart
227.72, Rights in Computer Software
and Computer Software Documentation,
and related provisions and clauses of
the Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation Supplement (DFARS); OMB
Control Number 0704–0369.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 75,250.
Responses Per Respondent: 13,
approximately.
Annual Responses: 959,602.
Average Burden per Response: 1 hour,
approximately.
Annual Response Burden Hours:
904,574.
Annual Recordkeeping Burden Hours:
90,600.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 995,174.
Needs and Uses: DFARS subparts
227.71 and 227.72 prescribe the use of
solicitation provisions and contract
clauses containing information
collection requirements that are
associated with rights in technical data
and computer software. DoD needs this
information to implement 10 U.S.C.
2320, Rights in technical data, and 10
U.S.C. 2321, Validation of proprietary
data restrictions. DoD uses the
information to recognize and protect
contractor rights in technical data and
PO 00000

Fmt 4703

computer software that are associated
with privately funded developments;
and to ensure that technical data
delivered under a contract are complete
and accurate and satisfy contract
requirements.
DoD uses the following DFARS
provisions and clauses in solicitations
and contracts to require offerors and
contractors to identify and mark data or
software requiring protection from
unauthorized use, release, or disclosure
in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320:
252.227–7013, Rights in Technical
Data—Noncommercial Items.
252.227–7014, Rights in
Noncommercial Computer Software and
Noncommercial Computer Software
Documentation.
252.227–7017, Identification and
Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure
Restrictions.
252.227–7018, Rights in
Noncommercial Technical Data and
Computer Software—Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C.
2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited
rights data to persons outside the
Government, or allow those persons to
use data with use, release, or disclosure
restrictions, if the recipient agrees not to
further release, disclose, or use the data.
Therefore, the clause at DFARS
252.227–7013, Rights in Technical
Data—Noncommercial Items, requires
the contractor to identify and mark data
or software that it provides with limited
rights.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2321(b),
contractors and subcontractors at any
tier must be prepared to furnish written
justification for any asserted restriction
on the Government’s rights to use or
release data. The following DFARS
clauses require contractors and
subcontractors to maintain adequate
records and procedures to justify any
asserted restrictions:
252.227–7019, Validation of Asserted
Restrictions—Computer Software.
252.227–7037, Validation of
Restrictive Markings on Technical Data.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320,
DoD must protect the rights of
contractors that have developed items,
components, or processes exclusively at
private expense. Therefore, the clause at
DFARS 252.227–7025, Limitations on
the Use or Disclosure of GovernmentFurnished Information Marked with
Restrictive Legends, requires a
contractor or subcontractor to submit a
use and non-disclosure agreement when
it obtains data from the Government to
which the Government has less than
unlimited rights. In addition, DFARS
227.7103–7, Use and non-disclosure
agreement, requires intended recipients
