SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Disaster Response Cooperative Agreement
Application.
OMB Control Number: 3045-0133.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and Organizations.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 100.

Abstract: AmeriCorps seeks renewal of the current information
collection pursuant to the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (42
U.S.C. 4950 et seq.) and the National and Community Service Act of
1990, (42 U.S.C. 12501 et seq.) The information collected is used to
help AmeriCorps more effectively use its deployable resources to meet
the needs of communities affected by disaster. An understanding of the
participating programs allows AmeriCorps to match the capabilities of
the programs to the needs of the communities and will allow better
asset mapping and resource typing. Additionally, the information
collected will allow AmeriCorps to conduct better outreach to
interested programs by providing them with more information about the
Agency's disaster procedures, reimbursement requirements, and support
services offered. This information collection ensures interested
programs meet the appropriate programmatic and fiscal requirements to
successfully execute disaster response activities. It also helps
AmeriCorps identify and deploy programs effectively and efficiently,
matching the capabilities of the programs to the needs of the
communities asking for assistance. The forms under the DRCA allow for
effective information collection during a disaster event as well as
assess the capacity of all DRCA programs throughout the year.
Information is collected electronically through completion of the forms
and emailed to AmeriCorps. The current application is due to expire on
March 31, 2024.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial
[[Page 83537]]
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose
or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the
