Abstract:
The information collection activity enables pilot testing of survey instruments in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration's commitment to improving service delivery. By pilot testing we mean information that provides useful insights on how respondents interact with the instrument, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations regarding prospective studies. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of research program management.

Short Statement:
The last clearance, which expired on April 30, 2024, allowed for 10,500 responses and 350 total burden hours. This numbers are listed as a “change due to potential violation of the PRA,” but AmeriCorps refrained from conducting any information collection under this generic clearance following the expiration. AmeriCorps is now seeking a reinstatement for 21, 910 responses and 2,064 hours, an increase of 11,410 responses and 1,714 hours, as a result of a program change due to agency discretion to ensure that it has the ability to accommodate future needs for pilot and test data, having encountered a situation over the past year appropriate for this clearance but for which there were insufficient estimates for responses and burden hours.
