Agencies are now responsible for establishing procedures for documenting volunteer service.
The attached interim procedures cover all volunteer service, i.e., student volunteer service performed under 5 U.S.C. 3111 and other volunteer service under programs for persons other than students as defined in law and regulation authorizing those programs. These procedures have been established to ensure consistency throughout the Department in documenting volunteer service, using simplified procedures that will allow for program effectiveness and efficiency Departmentwide. We would appreciate receiving your comments on the attached interim procedures by May 23, 2001. The current Student Volunteer Order will be revised to cover all volunteer service and include procedures for documenting volunteer service. You will be provided the opportunity to comment on the Order before finalization.
