Additional Responses: 210. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Additional Burden Hours: 305 hours. 

Abstract: NCCC program members 

have been a crucial part of AmeriCorps 

COVID–19 pandemic response as 

personnel on vaccine distribution 

mission assignments alongside FEMA 

and other agencies. No one could have 

anticipated the COVID–19 pandemic, 

but we have seized an opportunity to 

develop questions that build on the 

existing study but are specific to these 

ongoing activities. 

These activities are an essential 

element of our agency’s COVID–19 

pandemic response—one that is also 

essential to our mission to improve lives 

and strengthen communities. To further 

our mission in a time of increasing 

uncertainty, we aim to collect 

information on current activity that 

must be measured now in order to 

assess, identify, and make any identified 

programmatic changes. Peak 

performance of these projects is crucial 

to our agency’s COVID–19 pandemic 

response and public safety writ large. 

COVID–19 vaccine delivery is of 

increasing importance as COVID–19 

pandemic continues an unpredictable 

course. In time, we hope, the pandemic 

will subside, but it is crucial we analyze 

these mission assignments now to make 

improvements that will literally save 

lives. How will this save lives? 

Currently, just over 59% of Americans 

are fully vaccinated against the virus 

(Source: CDC.gov, accessed 11/29/2021). 

AmeriCorps NCCC members are 

increasing access to vaccines and 

related activities through their service. 

Vaccines have proven to decrease 

severity and fatalities from the COVID– 

19 virus. Programmatic improvements 

instituted ‘‘in real time’’ to enhance 

their efforts will lead to even greater 

access and a healthier public. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval. Comments are invited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. All written comments will 

be available for public inspection on
