    Comments: A 60-day Federal Register notice for Revision of

2005. The comment period ended on September 26, 2005. No comments were 
received.
    Description: The AmeriCorps member application will gather data 
from applicants, including background information, educational history, 
skills and experience, and a motivational statement. AmeriCorps may use 
this information to evaluate their suitability for becoming a member 
and to place them in the most appropriate program(s) that match their 
skills and interests. The application has a few changes from the 
previously approved application, and if approved, the Corporation will 
continue to allow applicants to complete one application to be 
considered for multiple programs within AmeriCorps. This new 
application will continue to be cost-effective for the government by 
providing a centralized information source and streamlined process for 
receiving applications and placing them into the proper programs. 
Therefore, the Corporation seeks approval of its new AmeriCorps 
Application for membership.
