A 60-day Notice requesting public comment on this information
collection was published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2026 at 91

Title of Collection: AmeriCorps State and National Application
Instructions.
OMB Control Number: 3045-0047.
Type of Review: Revision.
Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and organizations, and
State, local or Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 450.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,000.
Abstract: The application instructions conform to AmeriCorps'
online grant application system, eGrants, which applicants must use to
respond to AmeriCorps Notices of Funding Opportunities. AmeriCorps is
seeking to revise the application instructions to address how
unexpended funds are handled (see Carry Forward Funding section in
Continuations); remove the fixed percentage rate method as an option
for calculating administrative/indirect costs for cost-reimbursement
grants (see Attachment B of the form); update the de minimis indirect
cost rate; add a new Attachment I: State Commission Recommendation and
Ranking Guidance; add clarifying language (e.g., identifying the hours
for a full Member Service Year (MSY); and reflect regulatory changes
since the last renewal, including, for example, updating the match
requirements and updating terminology. 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 September 30, 2026.
Arminda Pappas,
Acting Director, AmeriCorps State and National.
