DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[OMB Number 1190-NEW]


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed eCollection 
eComments Requested; Generic Clearance for Pilot and Field Studies for 
Community Relations Service Data Collection Activities

AGENCY: Community Relations Service, Department of Justice.

ACTION: 30-Day notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Justice (DOJ), Community Relations Service 
(CRS), intends to request approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for a generic information collection clearance that will 
allow CRS to conduct a variety of participant feedback studies. CRS 
will submit the request for review and approval in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Over the next three years, CRS 
anticipates collecting program impact evaluation data for reassessing 
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 measure the 
impact of the programs. This work may entail redesigning and/or 
modifying existing programs based upon received feedback. CRS envisions 
using surveys, interviews, and other electronic data collection 
instruments.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted for 60 days until 
September 28, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Community Relations 
Service, including whether the information will have practical utility.
--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.
--Evaluate whether (and if so, how) the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected can be enhanced.
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including using appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses.
