CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Information Collection; Submission for

OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National

and Community Service (hereinafter the

‘‘Corporation’’), has submitted two

public information collection requests

(ICRs) to the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) for review and approval

in accordance with the Paper Reduction

Act of 1995, Pub.L. 104–13, (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). Copies of these individual

ICRs, with applicable supporting

documentation, may be obtained by

calling the Corporation for National and

Community Service, Levon Buller, at

(202) 606–5000, extension 383.

Individuals who use a

telecommunications device for the deaf

(TTY–TDD) may call (800) 833–3722

between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00

p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday

through Friday.

Comments should be sent to the

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, Attn: Ms. Brenda Aguilar, OMB

Desk Officer for the Corporation for

National and Community Service, Office

of Management and Budget, Room

10235, Washington, DC, 20503, (202)

395–7316, within 30 days from the date

of publication in this Federal Register.

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

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.

Two ICR documents have been

submitted to OMB for consideration.

The first, the Enrollment Form, is a

proposed revision of a form currently in

use (OMB Number 3045–0006). The

Corporation is proposing to make a

minor change in the format and to add

a self-certification statement that will

address a statutory requirement for

individuals earning AmeriCorps

education awards.

The second document, the Exit Form,

is another form currently in use (OMB

Number 3045–0015) for which some

changes are being proposed. Those

proposed changes would delete ten

evaluative questions that are asked on

the current version, delete a secondary

address, and change an eleventh

question regarding whether a former

member desires to be contacted by

organizations for reasons related to their

national service.

The two documents were published

in the Federal Register on April 7, 2000,

for a 60-day pre-clearance public

comment period. The Corporation did

not receive any requests for copies of

the form from any organizations or

individuals.

The 60-day notice contained an error

in reporting on the Total Respondents

and the Estimated Total Burden Hours.

It indicated 5,000 respondents and 584

burden hours for each of the forms. The

corrected figures should be 48,000

respondents annually and 5,600 burden

hours annually for each form. It is

estimated that it will average 3 minutes

for an AmeriCorps member to complete

the member section of the Exit form and

it will take the program staff 4 minutes.

The 60-day notice had these numbers

reversed. The correct figures are

contained in this notice.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 192 / Tuesday, October 3, 2000 / Notices 58987

Description

The Enrollment Form is the official

document used to document that an

AmeriCorps member is enrolled in an

approved national service position and

has begun to earn an education award.

The form also provides the Corporation

with demographic information for

evaluative purposes, and allows the

Corporation to project future liabilities

for the National Service Trust.

The Enrollment form serves two

purposes essential to the function of the

AmeriCorps programs. First, it is the

means by which AmeriCorps programs

certify that a member is eligible to serve

in AmeriCorps and has begun his or her

term of service. Second, it provides the

Corporation, grantees, and program

managers with valuable demographic

information with which the Corporation

can assess and report on member

placement.

The change proposed for this form is:

Three multiple-choice statements are

being added above the AmeriCorps

member’s signature line. The statements

pertain to high school graduationrelated requirements in 42 U.S.C. 12501

et seq. Adding this item to the form will

require member self-certification.

Exit Form

Type of Review: Renewal/Revision.

Agency: Corporation for National and

Community Service.

Title: Exit Form (formerly called ‘‘End

of Term/Exit Form’’)

OMB Number: 3045–0015.

Agency Number: None.

Affected Public: AmeriCorps members

and their host programs.

Total Respondents: 48,000 annually.

Frequency: Average of once per year.

(One time for each term of service).

Average Time Per Response: 7

minutes total—3 minutes for the

member to complete his or her portion

and 4 for the program staff to complete

the Certifying Official portion.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,600

hours.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

N/A.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintenance): N/A.

Description

The Corporation’s Exit Form is the

means by which AmeriCorps programs

certify that a member has, or has not,

successfully satisfied conditions which

must be met in order to receive an

education award. When an AmeriCorps

member successfully completes a term

of national service, a designated

program official certifies that the service

was completed and the individual is

eligible for an education award.

Submission of the Exit Form provides

legal certification for the disbursement

of an education award to an AmeriCorps

member. It is the document by which an

authorized program official at an

AmeriCorps program site indicates

whether an AmeriCorps member is

eligible for an education award.

Additional information requested on

the form includes the member’s service

completion date, the current address

where the education award

documentation should be mailed, and

two questions regarding the member’s

desire for post service information.

The Corporation proposes the

following changes to the form:

• Eliminate the ten evaluation

questions that are on the form currently

being used. The Corporation’s

Evaluation Division has decided that

relevant evaluation data will be

collected through surveys.

• Revise question 11 on the current

form to incorporate two other postservice opportunities for former

AmeriCorps members. Reorganize the

question/response options to make the

item clearer and to eliminate repetitive

language.

• Eliminate the Permanent Address.

A Permanent Address is collected from

the Enrollment form. It does not change

nearly as frequently as does the

member’s Current Mailing Address,

which is the address where the

member’s education award is mailed.

The Permanent Address is used if mail

is returned to the Corporation because

of an incorrect Current Address. By not

asking for an update of the Permanent

Address, the entire Exit Form can be

included on two sides of one page, a

definite advantage.

Future Data Collection for Americorps

Programs

In 1999, the Corporation began using

an electronic system to both enroll and

exit AmeriCorps members. Many local

programs can enter into a database

information about their members’

enrollment and completion of service.

They can use the two forms to obtain

the information from their participants

and enter it into their databases. This

data is periodically transferred to the

Corporation’s database where it

becomes the official record. This

transfer is currently being done on a

weekly basis.

As of the time of this submission,

more than fifty percent of the nation’s

AmeriCorps programs use this system.

The Corporation would like to have all

programs use it, since it ultimately

speeds up both collecting information

and issuing education awards to

members who have successfully

completed their terms of service.

However, many AmeriCorps programs,

especially smaller ones, do not have the

technological resources to afford the

computer hardware and software.

The Corporation does not want to

exclude any competent, otherwise

qualified organizations from

participating as a sponsor, so it is

possible that there may always be a

small number of organizations that will

use forms.
