Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on November 5, 2009. This comment period ended on Friday, 
December 4, 2009. No public comments were received from this Notice.
    Description: The Corporation is seeking approval of VISTA Alumni 
Outreach information collection. The goal of this project is to contact 
the 177,000 VISTA Alumni and ask them to take three actions; (1) Go 
online to VISTACampus.org and create an account; (2) Go online to 
My.AmeriCorps.gov and register; (3) Fill out a questionnaire IF they 
are interested in promoting and recruiting for VISTA. By creating an 
account through the VISTACampus.org and registering through 
MyAmeriCorps.gov, we can obtain their email addresses and keep them 
informed about future alumni-related activities. This is especially 
important as VISTA is celebrating its 45th anniversary in 2010 and 
there will be numerous activities for alumni to participate in across 
the country.
    The Corporation has obtained the mailing addresses for all 177,000 
alumni. There have been two postcards designed to mail to the alumni. 
The postcard text directs alumni to the VISTACampus.org and 
MyAmeriCorps.gov to update their contact information. When approved, 
the postcards will be mailed, information will be posted on the VISTA 
Campus explaining the registration process, the questionnaire will be 
posted, and alumni can begin to participate in recruitment efforts.
