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.

proposed collection of information is necessary for proper performance 
of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the information 
will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when 
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
