CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (the 
Corporation), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and 
respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to 
provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to 
comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 
Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data 
can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and 
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly 
understood, and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can 
be properly assessed.
    Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments concerning its 
Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program Commitment Form. This 
form is submitted by colleges and universities that provide incentives 
for AmeriCorps alumni such as matching or partially matching the 
AmeriCorps Education Award that members receive after successful 
completion of the AmeriCorps program. Completion of this information 
collection is required for colleges and universities to obtain approval 
for information on them to appear on the Segal AmeriCorps Education 
Awards section of the Corporation for National and Community Service 
Web site.
