Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on October 14, 2009. This comment period ended December 13, 
2009. No public comments were received from this Notice.
    Description: The Corporation is seeking approval of the renewal of 
the President's Volunteer Service Awards application. The President's 
Volunteer Service Awards were created by Executive Order on January 30, 
2003. The awards are administered by the Corporation for National and 
Community Service. Under the Executive Order, the Corporation was 
directed to (among other things) design and recommend programs to 
recognize individuals, schools, and organizations that excel in their 
efforts to support volunteer service and civic participation, 
especially with respect to students in primary schools, secondary 
schools, and institutions of higher learning. The President's Volunteer 
Service Awards meet this requirement. In order to recognize 
individuals, schools and organizations, the program must collect 
information about the individuals and organizations and their 
activities to verify that they have earned the award.
    The information collected will be used by the Program primarily to 
identify recipients of the President's Volunteer Service Awards and the 
Call to Service Awards (4000 hours or more.) Individuals or 
organizations can be nominated by an organization or third party. The 
nominations will be reviewed by the administering agency for compliance 
and awards will be made on that basis. Information also will be used to 
assure the integrity of the Program (so that, for example, an 
individual or organization does not receive an award twice for the same 
project), for reporting on the

accomplishments of the Program, for the public awareness campaign (such 
as press releases and Web site information on winning projects), and to 
further the purposes of the Executive Order (such as fostering 
partnerships and coordination of projects and to promote civic 
engagement).
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
    Title: President's Volunteer Service Awards, parts A, B, C, D and E
    OMB Number: 3045-0086.
