and Selection will use the information as an integral part of the

    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Respondents' Obligation to Reply: Voluntary.

    General Description of Collection: Peace Corps will use this

record the information requested on this form, the agency would run the 
risk of sending poorly qualified or unqualified representatives into 
foreign countries. The communities where Peace Corps assigns Volunteers 
often observe closely the actions and behaviors of Volunteers, who are 
representatives of the United States.
