AGENCY: Corporation for National and

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (hereinafter the 

‘‘Corporation’’), has submitted a public 

information collection request (ICR) 

entitled ‘‘AmeriCorps Application 

Instructions: State Competitive, State 

Education Award Program, National 

Direct, National Direct Education Award 

Program, National Professional Corps, 

Indian Tribes, States and Territories 

without Commissions, and National 

Planning’’ to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13, (44 U.S.C. Chapter 

35). Copies of this ICR, with applicable 

supporting documentation, may be 

obtained by calling the Corporation for 

National and Community Service, Ms. 

Amy Borgstrom at (202) 606–6930. 

Individuals who use a 

telecommunications device for the deaf 

(TTY–TDD) may call (202) 565–2799 

between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. eastern 

time, Monday through Friday. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted, identified by the title of the 

information collection activity, to the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Attn: Ms. Sharon Mar, OMB 

Desk Officer for the Corporation for 

National and Community Service, by 

any of the following two methods 

within 30 days from the date of 

publication in this Federal Register: 

(1) By fax to: (202) 395–6974, 

Attention: Ms. Sharon Mar, OMB Desk 

Officer for the Corporation for National 

and Community Service; and 

(2) Electronically by e-mail to: 

smar@omb.eop.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OMB 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, 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; 

• Propose ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Propose ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including 

through the use of appropriate 

automated, electronic, mechanical, or 

other technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology, e.g., permitting electronic 

submissions of responses. 

Comments: A 60-day public comment 

Notice was published in the Federal 

Register on Wednesday, October 15, 

2008. This comment period ended 

December 15, 2008. Two sets of public 

comments were received from 

Corporation grantees. The Corporation 

gave full consideration to those 

comments and, for the most part, 

incorporated their suggested changes in 

the information collection form. In 

addition, the burden figure was raised 

from 24 to 40 hours based on public 

comment. The former burden figure was 

unreasonable given the emphasis in the 

application instructions on developing 

collaborative relationships and 

collecting data. 

Description: The Corporation seeks to 

renew and revise the current 

AmeriCorps State and National 

Application Instructions. The 

Application Instructions are being 

revised for increased clarity and burden 

reduction. The Application Instructions 

will be used in the same manner as the 

existing Application Instructions. The 

Corporation also seeks to continue using 

the current Application Instructions 

until the revised Application 

Instructions are approved by OMB. The 

current form is due to expire on April 

30, 2009. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Agency: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

Title: AmeriCorps State and National 

Application Instructions. 

OMB Number: 3045–0047. 

Agency Number: None.
