Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the
Federal Register on November 11, 2022 at 65753-65754. This comment
period ended January 3, 2023. Three public comments were received from
this Notice. Each commenter expressed support for conducting the
training and technical assistance surveys and believed the burden to be
reasonable. Most comments related to the wording of some of the survey
questions, and AmeriCorps generally re-worded these questions to
clarify what we are asking and to fix some mistakes. Some suggestions
were made to add information to the demographic questions (e.g.,
additional options to select, information to help respondents quickly
identify their regions). For the most part, these changes were made.
For a few questions, we added an ``other'' option to elicit suggestions
for additional training topics we might not have thought of, in
addition to the main topics listed in the original survey. Two
commenters suggested we consider providing a paper copy of the survey
ts respondents can consider the questions ahead of time before
completing the electronic survey. We will provide a link on the website
to a printable copy of the survey.
Title of Collection: AmeriCorps All-Partner Training and Technical
Assistance Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3045-NEW.
Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public: AmeriCorps grantees and sponsors who
have VISTA, AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps Seniors, and Days
of Service/Volunteer Generation Fund awards.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 101,000 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 14,083.
Abstract: This new collection represents 3 different surveys: The
AmeriCorps All-Partner Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Survey
is designed to gather information about the experiences our grantees
and sponsors have with our current TTA so that we can improve how we
develop and provide TTA to our partners in the future. The changes
brought on with the Agency's restructuring, rebranding, and the website
overhaul have affected the TTA we provide to our grantees and sponsors.
This survey is meant to provide a current baseline for how grantees/
sponsors access, use, and receive our current TTA. Grantees and
sponsors, as the target audience for the training we develop, have
insight that can help AmeriCorps improve our trainings and our internal
processes around training development. The Post-Training eLearning
Survey and the Post-Training Live Webinar Survey are designed to
collect feedback on specific trainings immediately after they are taken
by granees/sponsors. These surveys are an essential piece to effective
instructional design and training because they allow us to get direct
feedback on individual trainings from their target audience. This
feedback will help us correct errors, clarify issues, determine what
other trianing needs exist--all of which will help us improve the
quality of training we provide to grantees and sponsors. Together,
these surveys will help us better support the recipients of AmeriCorps
awards to manage their awards more effectively and efficiently. This is
a new information collection.

Acting Chief of Program Operations.
