Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on October 16, 2009. This comment period ended December 16. No 
public comments were received from this Notice.
    Description: The AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community 
Corps) is a full-time, residential, national service program that 
combines the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects 
of military service. The mission is to strengthen communities and 
develop leaders through team-based national and community service. Each 
year, hundreds of young adults serve as NCCC members. Based at campuses 
in communities in several states, teams take on projects throughout 
their regions. Members help communities meet needs in the areas of 
natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental 
stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural 
development.Teams are available to help community and faith-based 
organizations, national nonprofits, schools, local municipalities, 
national and state parks, and Indian tribes. Members tutor students, 
construct and rehabilitate low-income housing, build and repair trails, 
help citizens prepare for and respond to natural and other disasters, 
lead and manage community volunteers, and address other local needs. 
Service projects typically last from six to eight weeks. Because 
members are trained in disaster services and wild land fire fighting, 
they can be reassigned on short notice to support disaster relief 
operations.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
