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 (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) are minimized, collection instruments are clearly 
understood, and the impact of collection on respondents can be properly 
assessed.
    Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed 
renewal of the Award Transfer forms: Request to Transfer a Segal 
Education Award Amount, Accept/Decline Award Transfer Form, Request to 
Revoke Transfer of Education Award Form, and Rescind Acceptance of 
Award Transfer Form. These forms enable AmeriCorps members and 
recipients of the Segal Education Award to meet the legal requirements 
of the award transfer process. Copies of the information collection 
request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this Notice.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the individual and office 
listed in the ADDRESSES section by August 25, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is particularly interested in comments 
that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of CNCS, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are expected to respond, including the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or

other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses).

Background

    AmeriCorps members may offer to transfer all or part of their 
qualified education awards to certain family members. Provision is made 
to accept the transfer or not, rescind acceptance, or revoke the 
transfer. These processes are implemented electronically where possible 
but paper forms are available if necessary.

Current Action

    CNCS seeks to renew the current information. We are adding the 
categories of stepchild and step-grandchild to the list of qualified 
recipients of the award transfer. Aside from this change, some minor 
formatting and editing revisions have been made.
    The information collection will otherwise be used in the same 
manner as the existing application. CNCS also seeks to continue using 
the current forms until the revised forms are approved by OMB. The 
current information collection is due to expire on July 16, 2014.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
