SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Peace Corps Awareness and Affinity: National Survey of U.S.
Adults.
OMB Control Number: 0420-0575.
Form number: PC-2210.
Type of Request: Renewal with Change.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Respondents Obligation to Reply: Voluntary.
Respondents: Members of the public and prospective Peace Corps
Volunteer applicants.
Burden to the Public:
(a) Estimated number of respondents: 6,200.
(b) Frequency of response: Twice.
(c) Estimated average burden per response: .188 hours.
(d) Estimated total reporting burden: 2333.32 hours.

General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps will renew its
national awareness and recruitment campaign to promote the
organization; its mission, goals, and values; and to attract and
recruit qualified Volunteer applicants. The Peace Corps' Office of
Communications will use the information collected by the Peace Corps
Awareness and Affinity: National Survey of U.S. Adults to assess the
effectiveness of the campaign. The Peace Corps conducted this survey in
2023, which proved beneficial in measuring general awareness and
affinity for the Peace Corps; drivers, barriers, and motivations
related to the application process; and perceptions of our audiences
following the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to when the survey was
conducted in 2023, the Peace Corps will collect information to help
broaden the pool of potential Volunteers and engage new audiences--this
time to help meet the agency's goal of sending 8,000 qualified
Volunteers overseas by 2030. The information collection will also be
used to gather insights to identify key audience segments and help
ensure the efficiency and success of future marketing efforts by:
<bullet> Identifying levels of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and
opinions about the Peace Corps among the general U.S. public and
targeted audience segments;
<bullet> Collecting insights to inform communications, education,
and outreach strategies by understanding which themes resonate most
with different audience segments; and,
[[Page 18010]]
<bullet> Determining the best channels for communication.
The Office of Communications will conduct this survey twice for
optimal monitoring and evaluation.
Request for Comment: The Peace Corps invites comments on whether
the proposed collections of information are necessary for proper
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the
information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of automated collection
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information
technology.
This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on April 7, 2026.
James Olin,
FOIA/Privacy Act Officer.
