Abstract: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS)
has procured a Learning Management System (LMS) to enhance training and
technical assistance at the agency. The Office of Research and
Evaluation (ORE) is using this tool to enhance existing methods of
teaching and learning about program evaluation and research topics. ORE
has programmed 12 Evaluation Core Curriculum courses on the LMS for
users to explore interactively. In order to enhance the utility of the
courses, ORE would like implement knowledge checks in the form of
topically focused pre/post-test questions so that participants can
identify knowledge gaps that need to be addressed with further
learning. This will also enable ORE to see where common learning issues
arise, and where additional resources should be targeted. CNCS also
seeks to continue using the currently approved pre/post-test questions,
which were cleared under a generic clearance, until the current
information collection is approved by OMB. The currently approved
information collection expired on October 31, 2017.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. All written comments will be available for
public inspection on regulations.gov.
Dated: March 2, 2018.

Director of the Office of Research and Evaluation.
