PEACE CORPS


Proposed Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Peace Corps.

ACTION: Notice of public use form review request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB Control Number 0420-0513).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1981 (44 USC, 
Chapter 35), the Peace Corps has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a request for approval of information collections, OMB 
Control Number 0420-0513, the Peace Corps Teacher Brochure/Enrollment 
Form; the Peace Corps Volunteer Enrollment Form; and the follow-up 
program survey, the World Wise Schools (WWS) annual Teacher Survey. The 
purpose of this information collection is to include the participation 
of interested teachers and Peace Corps Volunteers in the WWS Program. 
The questionnaire serves to better determine which populations we are 
serving as well as which teachers have access to alternative 
information channels. The survey also assists in developing WWS 
Programs to meet the needs of the schools and teachers it serves. The 
purpose of this notice is to allow for public comments on whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether 
their information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collections information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ways to 
enhance the quality, utility and the clarity 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. A copy of the information collection may be 
obtained from Ms. Amy Wickenheiser, Peace Corps, Office of Domestic 
Programs, World Wise Schools, 1111 20th Street, NW, Room 2144, 
Washington, DC 20526. Ms. Wickenheiser can be contacted by telephone at 
202-692-1426 or 800-424-8580 ext 1426. Comments on the form should also 
be addressed to the attention of Ms. Wickenheiser and should be 
received on or before April 8, 2002.
