burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions;

of the information to be collected; and

Comments
A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the
Federal Register on March 15, 2024 at 89 FR 18913. This comment period
ended May 14, 2024. Two public comments were received from this Notice.
<bullet> Two commenters suggested increasing the character limit
for the position description. AmeriCorps will not incorporate this
comment because, while it understands the concern, the agency is
intentional about wanting concise descriptions to avoid sharing too
much information on position listings. The agency encourages programs
to use longer descriptions on their own websites as part of the
application, rather than on <a href="http://ACC.gov">ACC.gov</a>. <a href="http://ACC.gov">ACC.gov</a> points applicants to the
program websites for more detailed information.
<bullet> Two commenters suggested revisions to the process for
collecting information that would allow for editing or reusing
information about each program. The agency will incorporate this
comment for future versions of the form when the collection tool has
the technical capabilities to allow for this.
<bullet> One commenter suggested clearer field descriptions for
questions. The agency will continue to improve field descriptions for
clarity in future versions.
<bullet> One commenter suggested revisions to the location category
of the form so that multiple locations can be selected. AmeriCorps
accepts this comment and will work to offer this function, technology
permitting.
<bullet> One commenter suggested not using the term ``hourly pay.''
The agency accepts this comment and has revised the field to ask for
hourly pay equivalent.
Title of Collection: American Climate Corps Recruitment Form.
OMB Control Number: TBD. Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and Organizations.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 300.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 200.
Abstract: This is a new information collection. <a href="http://ACC.gov">ACC.gov</a> will be a
recruitment portal where American Climate Corps programs can post
information about their service opportunities, such as what the service
opportunity will be, where it will occur, and how much it will pay. The
website's intent is for the public to see all available American
Climate Corps service opportunities in one central location and to
review a description of
[[Page 48156]]
the activity and information about the American Climate Corps program.
If a member of the public would like to apply, they can follow a link
posted on the service opportunity page, which will take them to the
program's application. <a href="http://ACC.gov">ACC.gov</a> will not include an application to
serve. <a href="http://ACC.gov">ACC.gov</a> will streamline the American Climate Corps' ability to
reach a wide audience of applicants, aiming to increase participation
in American Climate Corps programs and make it substantially easier for
the public to find opportunities to serve.
