SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Forms.

Abstract: AmeriCorps seeks to revise the concept paper and project
application instructions, continuation application instructions,
project progress report instructions, and support grant budget
instructions in the current information collection. The revisions
streamline content, ensure use of plain English with use of the second
person, separate systems instructions from content explanations, update
terminology, and divide narrative fields into clearer subsections to
organize content. No revisions are being made to the VISTA Progress
Report Supplement (VPRS) instructions. The information collection will
otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application and
reporting forms. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the current
forms until the revised forms are approved by OMB. The currently
approved information collection is due to expire on March 31, 2027.
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>.
