Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 0970-0401)

Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Office of Community Services (OCS) Service Finder and OCS Service Reviewer Beta Testing Forms


PURPOSE AND USE: The Office of Community Services (OCS) developed a draft application (app) to help families and communities find OCS funded services closest to their specific location. The OCS Service Finder was built based on information publicly available on our grant recipient and sub-recipient websites. OCS also developed the OCS Service Reviewer to allow Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) CSBG sub-recipients to validate that the information publicly available on their websites about services offered at their sites is accurate. The OCS Service Reviewer requests that respondents verify contact information, hours of operation, physical address, language services, and all current services available at their organization.


The information collected through the OCS Service Finder Beta Testing Form and OCS Service Reviewer Beta Testing Form will be used to validate and update the OCS Service Finder and the OCS Service Reviewer. Feedback collected through the OCS Service Finder and OCS Service Reviewer Beta Testing Forms will then be used to update and improve both tools to ensure they meet the needs of future users, as well as help OCS obtain a reliable time burden estimate. Information collected through both beta testing forms will not be used for service verification purposes or included in the OCS Service Finder or OCS Service Reviewer.
