Abstract:
CNCS requests clearance for the collection of data concerning the Civic Engagement and Volunteering Supplement (CEVS), to be conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in conjunction with the annual November Current Population Survey (CPS). CNCS uses the CEVS to collect data for the Civic Health Assessment, an annual report that is mandated by the Serve America Act. The CEVS provides information on the extent to which American communities are places where individuals are civically active. It also provides information on the number of Americans who are active in their communities, communicating with one another on issues of public concern, and interacting with public institutions and private enterprises. This request is a revision because AmeriCorps is seeking clearance of additional questions on volunteering requested by members of the public in case a change in U.S. Census policy allows for the additional questions before expiration of this OMB Control Number. Additionally, AmeriCorps is seeking clearance of rephrased questions to expedite testing in the event that Census pursues introducing an internet self-response mode to the CEV before expiration of this OMB Control Number. The U.S. Census Bureau is currently field testing an internet self-response mode for the core CPS module as part of modernization efforts.
