Comments

    A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the 
Federal Register on 11/03/2017 at 82 FR 51224. This comment period 
ended January, 2nd, 2017. No public comments were received from this 
Notice.
    Description: All members in the three AmeriCorps programs--
AmeriCorps State & National, VISTA, and the National Civilian Community 
Corps (NCCC)--are invited to complete a questionnaire upon completing 
their service term. The questionnaire asks members about their 
motivations for joining AmeriCorps, experiences while serving, and 
future plans and aspirations. Completion of the questionnaire is not 
required to successfully exit AmeriCorps, receive any stipends, 
educational awards, or other benefits of service. The purpose of the 
information collection is to learn more about the member experience and 
member perceptions of their AmeriCorps experience in order to improve 
the program. Members complete the questionnaire electronically through 
the AmeriCorps Member Portal. Members are invited to respond as their 
exit date nears and are allowed to respond for an indefinite period 
following the original invitation. CNCS seeks to renew the current 
information collection. The questionnaire submitted for clearance is 
unchanged from the previously cleared questionnaire. The information 
collection will otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing 
application. CNCS also seeks to continue using the current application 
until the revised application is approved by OMB. The current 
application is due to expire on 2/28/2018.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
    Title: Performance Measurement in AmeriCorps.
    OMB Number: 30450094.
    Agency Number: None.
    Affected Public: Individuals--AmeriCorps members.
    Total Respondents: 80,000.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Average Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 20,000 hours.
    Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.
    Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance): None.

    Dated: January 12, 2018.
