with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing

sponsors for each NCCC team following completion of each NCCC project.
Completion of this information collection is not required to be
considered for or obtain grant or resource funding support from

Background
This National Civilian Community Corps Sponsor Survey originally
developed this Sponsor Survey to evaluate the program's performance
impact on sponsoring organizations and communities. This measurement
instrument works to capture outputs and outcomes of the NCCC program on
the organizations and communities it serves. This information
collection serves as part of an overall AmeriCorps NCCC logic model to
help measure the degree to which the program is addressing the statuary
areas of national and community needs in a way that strengthens
communities and builds leaders. The survey will be administered
electronically to all project sponsors after each project is completed.
Current Action
This is a revision of the information collection request. The NCCC
Sponsor Survey consists of between 34 and 37 questions, depending on
which responses the respondents specify. All sponsors will receive
their survey as a single instrument. For each team on each project, the
organization that partnered with AmeriCorps NCCC will receive an
individual survey.
Type of Review: Revised.
Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
Title: NCCC Sponsor Survey.
OMB Number: 3045-01385.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: The NCCC sponsor survey will be administered to
the project sponsor for any NCCC service project. These sponsors apply
to receive a NCCC team, typically made up of 8-12 Members, for a period
of approximately six-eight weeks to implement local service projects.
There are approximately 1,200 projects that NCCC perform each year. The
project sponsors are uniquely able to provide the information sought in
the NCCC Sponsor Survey.
Total Respondents: Based on the number of projects completed last
fiscal year, NCCC expects to administer 2,400 surveys each fiscal year.
These may not be unique responders as many sponsors receive teams on a
rotating basis and thus may complete the survey more than once per
year.
Frequency: Biweekly. Each sponsor will complete only one survey per
team per project.
Average Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,200 hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance): None.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget
approval of the information collection request; they will also become a
matter of public record.
Dated: December 22, 2015.
