SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: AmeriCorps VISTA Application and Reporting 
Forms.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0038 Type of Review: Revision.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and Organizations AND/OR 
State, Local or Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 750.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:17,500.
    Abstract: AmeriCorps VISTA is revising its application and 
reporting package to reflect changes in the Support Grant budget 
instructions that allow for first-year Support Grant sponsors and to 
simplify instructions in both the Support and Program Grant budget 
instructions. The Concept Paper and Application Instructions are being 
revised to add information about the Unique Entity ID registration 
process on SAM.gov. The VISTA Progress Report and Progress Report 
Supplement were not revised. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using 
the currently approved information collection until the revised 
information collection is approved by OMB. Once the revised information 
is approved by OMB, VISTA plans to use the revised forms through the 
remainder

of Fiscal Year 2024 and until the launch of the new project and grant 
application system. The currently approved information collection is 
due to expire on March 31, 2024.
    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 regulations.gov.

Acting Director, AmeriCorps VISTA.
