SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Recordkeeping for National Service Criminal 
History Checks.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0150. Type of Review: Renewal.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and Organizations and 
State, Local, or Tribal Governments.

    Abstract: The National and Community Service Act of 1990, as 
amended by the Serve America Act of 2009, requires AmeriCorps grantees 
and subgrantees to conduct a National Service Criminal History Check on 
individuals in covered positions before they begin service and to 
maintain documentation that the individuals were screened according to 
statutory requirements and are not prohibited from serving in the 
covered position. AmeriCorps and its grantees must ensure that national 
service beneficiaries are protected from harm, and the recordkeeping 
requirements of the final rule are critical to that responsibility. 
AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the currently approved 
information collection until the revised information collection is 
approved by OMB. The currently approved information collection is due 
to expire on 8/31/2025.
    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>.

Elizabeth Appel,
Acting Deputy General Counsel.
