A 60-day Notice requesting public

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.
