The proposed information collection is
intended to provide CNCS, its programs, and the national service
field with information on the models and practices of national
service programs and projects that engage and serve these
populations. Through the study, CNCS will also begin to build an
evidence base for documenting the effectiveness and impact of
national service in this area. In addition, the data collection
will provide critical information to CNCS that is needed to
complete the Congressional report, which will document how the
strategies undertaken by CNCS have enabled greater participation by
veterans and how existing CNCS programs and activities could be
improved to serve veterans and military families [Sec. 196C. (42
U.S.C. 12651k)].
The Congressional report
which requires this study is due prior to November, 2012. In an
effort to be compliant with this Congressional requirement and
maintain our ability to respond accurately and responsively to
Congress on our activities related to veterans and military
families, we are therefore submitting the information collection
request under 5 CFR 1320.13 to OMB for emergency processing and
approval of information collection activities.
US Code:
42 USC 12501 et seq Name of Law: National Community Service Act
as amended
Burden has increased because
this is a new information collection request required by the Edward
M. Kennedy Serve America Act which amended our statute.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
