Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), 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.. 
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, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed 
renewal of the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program 
Commitment Form. This form is submitted by institutions of higher 
education that provide educational benefits for AmeriCorps alumni. 
These benefits can include matching the AmeriCorps Education Award that 
members receive after successful completion of the AmeriCorps program, 
scholarships, and application fee waivers. Completion of this 
information collection is required for institutions to enroll in the 
Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program and appear on the 
Segal AmeriCorps Education Award Matching Program section of the 
Corporation for National and Community Service Web site.
