human waste for two people. Empty 

plastic containers and packaging will be 

kept in the sledges to be discarded in 

Chile at the end of the expedition. 

Application for the permit is made by:

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

PEACE CORPS 

Information Collection Request Under 

OMB Review 

AGENCY: Peace Corps. 

ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Peace Corps will be 

submitting the National Agency Check 

(NAC) Questionnaire for Peace Corps 

Volunteer Background Investigation 

(OMB Control Number 0420–0001) to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and clearance in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. Notice of the 

information collection was previously 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 25, 2011, at 76 FR 12939, allowing 

for a 60-day public comment period. 

Peace Corps received 16 identical 

comments stating that ‘‘the Peace Corps 

must ensure that the proposed 

information collection activity screens 

out and excludes those individuals 

motivated exclusively (or near 

exclusively) to promote or participate in 

the harmful male genital mutilation 

known as circumcision.’’ As the NAC 

Questionnaire for Peace Corps 

Volunteer Background Investigation 

(OMB Control Number 0420–0001) 

requests only identifying information 

about Volunteer applicants in order to 

locate records pertaining to applicants’ 

legal activities and legal suitability for 

Peace Corps Volunteer service. As those 

records are not likely to contain 

information concerning views about 

circumcision, it will not be possible to 

make such a judgment about applicants 

using this form. 

The purpose of this notice is to allow 

an additional 30 days for public 

comments. Written comments and
