Abstract: Over the next three years, CRS and its evaluation
contractor, Mathematica, anticipate collecting program impact
evaluation data for assessing ongoing programs across several areas
within community outreach. The purpose of these collections is to
gather feedback from participants who attended CRS programs and to use
that information to assess the impact and outcomes of the programs. The
work may entail redesigning and/or modifying existing programs based
upon received feedback. CRS envisions using surveys, interviews, and
other electronic data collection instruments. In this revision, CRS is
requesting an increased level of burden from the previously approved
collection to reflect including a larger number of programs in the
assessment and collecting information at multiple time points for an
individual program to assess change over time.

approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Generic Clearance for
