Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on January 30, 2007. This comment period ended March 30, 2007. 
One public comment was received from this notice. This questioned 
whether the AmeriCorps member or the program's Certifying Official 
should certify a member's prior service. The Corporation determined 
that the member should self-certify this information as it may not be 
available to the certifying official. A further suggestion to delete 
names of inactive program types will be implemented as appropriate.
    Description: Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments 
concerning the proposed renewal of its AmeriCorps Enrollment Form and 
its AmeriCorps Exit Form. The enrollment and exit forms are completed 
jointly by members interested in performing a period of national 
service and by programs providing that opportunity. Upon successfully 
completing a term of service an AmeriCorps participant my receive an 
education award that may be used to pay for certain educational 
expenses or for qualified student loans. Enrollment and exit processing 
is completed electronically. The paper forms are retained by the 
programs for audit purposes.
