Abstract: 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 or to receive any stipends, education
awards, or other benefits of service. The purpose of the information
collection is to learn more about the member experience and
[[Page 20952]]
members' perceptions of their AmeriCorps experience so that AmeriCorps
can 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.
AmeriCorps seeks to revise the current information collection. The
questionnaire submitted for clearance will be revised to change
response options for one of the questions or to add a new question, as
needed, to better obtain information on self-efficacy. AmeriCorps also
seeks to continue using the currently approved information collection
until the renewed information collection is approved by OMB. The
current application expires on May 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 resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. All written comments will be available for
public inspection on <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a>.
