    Title: AmeriCorps Alumni Profile Card. (Previously named the 
AmeriCorps*VISTA Locator Card.)
    OMB Number: 3045-0048.
    Agency Number: None.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Total Respondents: 12,000.
    Frequency: Continuous.

    Description: The Corporation proposes to reinstate, with change, 
the AmeriCorps Alumni Profile Card to send to former AmeriCorps and 
VISTA members' home addresses requesting that they complete the card 
and return it to the AmeriCorps Recruitment Office. The card will be 
used by Corporation personnel and other organizations (only with the 
explicit written permission of the respondent). The purpose of the card 
is to enhance communications between the Corporation and former 
AmeriCorps members, to provide them with information on Corporation 
activities, and to seek their assistance in volunteer recruitment 
activities.
    The Corporation proposes to revise the AmeriCorps Alumni Profile 
Card by changing the name to more accurately describe the information 
collection and to include the members who served in all AmeriCorps 
programs. In addition, the Corporation will delete unused information 
from the existing version of the card, including removing questions 
pertaining to meeting facilities and housing and collecting the 
following data from the former member:
     The exact dates of service from the person filling out the 
AmeriCorps Alumni Profile Card.
     Detailed information about the person's current interests, 
occupation and expertise.
     Collecting the person's cell phone number for those who 
prefer to be contacted in that manner.
    The Corporation also plans to gather additional information about 
former members' current education levels. This will help the 
Corporation to more accurately gear communication to former members who 
may be interested in furthering their education or who may benefit from 
a particular new initiative.
    Further, the Corporation proposes to revise the AmeriCorps Alumni 
Profile Card by asking former members to identify their involvement 
with the Corporation or community.

    Dated: August 13, 2004.
Timothy J. McManus,
Director, AmeriCorps Recruitment.
