there is a need to collect outcome
information regarding the Corporation’s
AmeriCorps programs consisting of
AmeriCorps*State and National,
AmeriCorps*VISTA, and
AmeriCorps*National Civilian
Community Corps (NCCC). Information
on program performance will be
informed by a series of surveys of a
sample of AmeriCorps members and
sub-grantee organizations that deliver

comments which:

collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Corporation, 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;
• Propose ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Propose ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
through 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.
