CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

Information Collection Currently
Approved Through Emergency
Clearance; Comment Request
AGENCY: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Corporation for National
and Community Service (hereinafter the
‘‘Corporation’’), as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, conducts a pre-
clearance consultation program to
provide the general public and federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirement on
respondents can be properly assessed.
Currently, the Corporation is
soliciting comments concerning its
proposed renewal of its Disaster
Response Database (DRD).
The DRD is a data collection tool that
allows the Corporation to collect
information from its programs and
grantees on disaster response activities
across the country. This tool serves as
a central repository of information on
Corporation disaster response activities
for reporting to the public.
Copies of the information collection
requests can be obtained by contacting
the office listed in the address section
of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the individual and office
listed in the ADDRESSES section by
March 24, 2006.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by the title of the information
collection activity, by any of the
following methods:
(1) By mail sent to: Corporation for
National and Community Service, Learn
and Serve America; Attention Phil

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Phil
Shaw, (202) 606–6697 or by e-mail at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Corporation is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
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;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are expected to respond, including 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).
Background
The Corporation for National and
Community service regularly engages its
national service programs and grantees
to respond to disasters as a part of its
mandate to promote community service
and meet community needs. The great
number of national service participants
and variety of support offered
necessitates a centralized reporting tool
to track and measure resources
dedicated to supporting communities
recovering from disaster.
Current Action
The Corporation seeks to renew the
data collection, which was originally
approved through emergency clearance.
The database is a web-based system that
permits programs and grantees to report
contributions to disaster responses. No
changes are being made to the currently
approved database.
The Corporation also seeks to
continue using the current application
until the revised application is
approved by OMB. The current
23JAN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 14 / Monday, January 23, 2006 / Notices
application is due to expire on April 30,
2006.
Type of Review: Renewal with
revisions of an information collection
currently approved through emergency
clearance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
VerDate Aug<31>2005 13:01 Jan 20, 2006 Jkt 208001
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) provide interested
Federal agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. OMB may amend or
waive the requirement for public
consultation to the extent that public
participation in the approval process
would defeat the purpose of the
information collection, violate State or
Federal law, or substantially interfere
with any agency’s ability to perform its
statutory obligations. The IC Clearance
Official, Regulatory Information
Management Services, Office of the
Chief Information Officer, publishes that
notice containing proposed information
collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each
proposed information collection,
grouped by office, contains the
following: (1) Type of review requested,
e.g. new, revision, extension, existing or
reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) Summary of
the collection; (4) Description of the

Abstract: This evaluation assesses the
accomplishments of the CSR program in
implementing school reform and
thereby improving student achievement.
The evaluation also makes a preliminary
assessment of the conditions
influencing the sustainability of reforms
once federal CSR funding ends. The
evaluation uses a variety of data sources
to understand the complex interplay of
state policies, school districts,
educational support, and CSR school
conditions affecting CSR
implementation and outcomes. The
major evaluation questions are: (1) To
what extent have CSR-supported
schools made gains on state assessments
in comparison to gains for schools in the
PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM

same state with similar characteristics;
(2) How effective is CSR support for
reform; (3) How have district policies
and state policies affected CSR
implementation and comprehensive
school reform; (4) What implications
can be drawn from CSR implementation
and outcomes for reform in Title I
schoolwides; and (5) How effective are
various school reform activities in
secondary schools, and to what extent
can school progress be linked to
comprehensive school reform. A mixed
method approach will be used to collect
appropriate data for addressing each
evaluation question. The methods
include mail surveys of 500 CSR
program and non-CSR program schools,
online surveys of 50 states and 65
school districts, and case studies of 40
‘‘sites’’ to produce an understanding of
the dynamic of the actual relationships
among school, district, and state actions,
policies, and practices (each ‘‘site’’
consists of a CSR school and matched
comparison school as well as the
district, state, and support infrastructure
in which the schools operate).
Evaluators will be able to link
information from these various sources
in order to provide policymakers and
other stakeholders with coherent
findings.
