DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Office of the Secretary (Office of Policy and Strategic 
Planning).
    Title: Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Toolkit Web site 
Evaluation Survey.

    OMB Control Number: None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 33.
    Number of Respondents: 400
    Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: The U.S. Department of Commerce's (DOC) Center for 
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (CFBCI) is one of eleven similar 
centers located in various Federal agencies. The Faith-Based and 
Community Initiative focuses on expanding partnerships with non-profit 
sector partners and soliciting private sector co-investors to help 
America's communities in need.
    In an effort to support non-profit organizations with submitting 
quality government grant applications, the U.S. Census Bureau developed 
an online toolkit to assist applicants with obtaining Census 
information for grant writing and community needs assessment. Census is 
the leading source of quality data about our nation's people and 
economy. Census data drives key elements of grant applications and 
grant proposals are strengthened by good supportive data which 
demonstrates a need within a community.
    DOC would like to conduct a study to evaluate the effectiveness of 
the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives toolkit Web site and, 
specifically the ``Additional Resources'' link.
    The users of the Web site will have the option to complete a survey 
of their experience of using the Web site. The findings from the study 
will be used to help make informed decisions about users' expectations 
and needed improvements to the Web site.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
