Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TTY-TDD) may call 1-800-833-3722 between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.
ADDRESSES:
Comments may be submitted, identified by the title of the information collection activity, to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: Ms. Sharon Mar, OMB Desk Officer for the Corporation for National and Community Service, by any of the following two methods within 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register :

(2) By email to: smar@omb.eop.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of CNCS, including whether the information will have practical utility;
[top] • 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;
• Propose ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
• Propose ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the Federal Register on 1/21/14. This comment period ended 3/24/14. There were 2 comments submitted. Those comments involved suggestions around the hiring scenario set up; candidate experience profiles; and the brand identity of members. Clarifying information was provided to the commenters to further explain the use of a bachelor's degree as the common level of education across candidates, and the use of a highly generalized office position as the hypothetical position of interest. A technical question about the possible incompatibility of certain combinations of candidate experiences was answered through an example. Finally, the suggestion that we test AmeriCorps brand salience vs. grantee brand salience was addressed by explaining the lack of sufficient space in the experimental design, as well as concerns of confusing and overburdening respondents with too much information.
