SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 
notice announces the Natural Resources Conservation Service's intention 
to reinstate a previously approved information collection. The 
collected information will help the Natural Resources Conservation 
Service match the skills of individuals applying for volunteer work who 
will further the agency's mission. Information will be collected from 
potential volunteers who are 14 years of age or older.

EFFECTIVE DATES: Comments will be received for a 60-day period 
commencing with the date of this publication.

Coordinator; fax (515) 289-1227; telephone: (515) 289-0325, extension 
29; e-mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Collection of this information is necessary 
to document service of volunteers as required by FPM Supplement 296-33, 
Subchapter 3. Agencies are authorized to recruit, train, and accept, 
with regard to civil service classification laws, rules or regulations, 
the services of individuals to serve without compensation. Volunteers 
may assist in any agency program/project, and may perform any 
activities which agency employees are allowed to do. Volunteers must be 
at least 14 years of age.
    Persons interested in volunteering will have to write, call, e-
mail, or visit a Natural Resources Conservation Service Office. The 
forms will be available electronically, and can be completed 
electronically.

Description of Information Collection: The NRCS-PERS-002, Volunteer 
Interest and Placement Summary, is an optional form that assists the 
volunteer supervisor in placing the volunteer in a position that will 
benefit both the agency and the volunteer. The form is placed in a 
volunteer case file, and will be destroyed three years after the 
volunteer has completed service. In the event that the volunteer is 
injured, the case file will be transferred to the Official Personnel 
Folder.

    Signed in Washington, DC, on December 18, 2002.

Chief, Natural Resources Conservation Service.
