Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (hereinafter the 

‘‘Corporation’’), as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork and 

respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to 

provide the general public and Federal 

agencies with an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

helps to ensure that requested data can 

be provided in the desired format, 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents can be properly assessed. 

Currently, the Corporation is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed renewal of its Volunteer 

Service Hour Tracking Tool (Record of 

Service). The Record of Service was 

established in 2002 as a tool to help 

Americans answer the President’s call to 

service and keep track of their volunteer 

service hours. 

Copies of the information collection 

requests can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the address section 

of this notice.

submitted to the individual and office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corporation is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected 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). 

Background 

In January of 2002, in his State of the 

Union Address, President Bush called 

on all Americans to dedicate 4,000 

hours or two years of their lives to 

volunteer service. He created the USA 

Freedom Corps, a coordinating office at 

the White House, to oversee these efforts 

and to bring increased attention to the 

ways in which the Administration could 

work together to enhance opportunities 

for all Americans to serve their 

neighbors and their nation. The 

response has been positive. Last year, 

64.5 million Americans volunteered, an 

increase of more than 5 million since 

2002. 

In support of the President’s call to 

service, the Corporation created an 

electronic Record of Service to provide 

the general public a way to track their 

service activities and individually 

record their volunteer service hours. 

Use of this tracking tool is 100 percent 

electronic in that users establish a user 

ID and password that automatically 

creates an account which is only 

accessible to that individual user. The 

Record of Service can only be updated 

by the user who established the account. 

The Record of Service has received 

heavy public use and is a primary way 

for individuals to track their eligibility 

for the President’s Volunteer Service 

Award. 

Individuals may link to this tracking 

tool through the USA Freedom Corps 

Web site at http:// 

www.usafreedomcorps.gov or the 

President’s Volunteer Service Award 

Web site at, http:// 

www.presidentialserviceawards.gov. 

Current Action 

The Corporation seeks to renew the 

current Record of Service. The Record of 

Service will be used in the same manner 

as the existing Record of Service.

Community Service.
