Comments
A 60-day notice requesting public comment was published in the
Federal Register on November, 14, 2022 at Vol. 87 FR 68139. This
comment period ended January 19, 2023. Three public comments were
received in response to that notice. One anonymous commenter generally
said AmeriCorps should make it easier for organizations providing
accommodations to be reimbursed, but did not provide any specific
suggestions for how to do so. Another commenter supported the comments
from the third commenter and in particular highlighted that AmeriCorps'
estimated time burden is unrealistic. AmeriCorps has adjusted its time
burden estimate in response to these comments, increasing the time per
response from 9 minutes to 20 minutes as suggested. A few comments
related to funding processes and the provision of training on diversity
inclusion and accommodation, which are beyond the scope of this
information collection request. Comments also requested updating the
form to reflect AmeriCorps' branding and specifying the point of
contact is at the prime level. AmeriCorps has incorporated these
changes into the form and is investigating the feasibility of changing
the form to a web-based form, as suggested.
Title of Collection: Disability Accommodation Reimbursement Request
Form.
OMB Control Number: 3045-0179.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals, Businesses,
Organizations, State, Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 7.
Abstract: AmeriCorps grantees provide the information to request
reimbursement for services associated with reasonable accommodation of
AmeriCorps service members. The information will be collected
electronically via email by submission of this form and the receipt(s)
for services. AmeriCorps seeks to renew the current information
collection without revisions. The information collection will be used
in the same manner as the existing application. AmeriCorps also seeks
to continue using the current application until the revised application
is approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on January
31, 2023.
Margery Ansara,
Acting Chief of Program Operations.
