## Comments

                    A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on November 12, 2020 at Vol. FR Pages 71887-71888. This comment period ended January 11, 2021. No public comments were received from this Notice.                

*Title of Collection:*                     CNCS Disaster Response Cooperative Agreements.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     3045-0133. Type of Review: Renewal.                          ( print page 12929)    

*Respondents/Affected Public:*                     Business and Organizations.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:*                     100.                

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:*                     200.                

*Abstract:*                     AmeriCorps seeks renewal of the current information collection pursuant to the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4950*et seq.*) and the National and Community Service Act of 1990, (42 U.S.C. 12501*et seq.*) The information collected will be used to help AmeriCorps more effectively utilize its deployable resources to meet the needs of disaster affected communities. A better understanding of the participating programs will allow AmeriCorps to match the capabilities of the programs to the needs of the communities and will allow better asset mapping and resource typing. Additionally, the information collected will allow AmeriCorps to conduct better outreach to interested programs by providing them with more information about AmeriCorps disaster procedures, reimbursement requirements, and support services offered.                

The revisions are intended to streamline the application process and ensure interested programs meet the appropriate programmatic and fiscal requirements to successfully execute disaster response activities. Additionally, the supporting forms will help AmeriCorps identify and deploy programs more effectively and efficiently, matching the capabilities of the programs to the needs of the communities requesting assistance.

The additional tools and forms under the DRCA will allow for effective information collection during a disaster event as well as assess the capacity of all DRCA programs throughout the year.

The information collection will otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the current application until the revised application is approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on March 31, 2021.

Dated: February 26, 2021.

Jacob Sgambati,

Acting Deputy Director, National Civilian Community Corps.
