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). 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 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 to meet the legal requirements of the award transfer 
process.
    Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by 
contacting

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, to 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. Except to add the 
categories of stepchild and step grandchild to the list of qualified 
recipients of the award transfer, only slight formatting and editing 
changes 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 application until the revised application is approved by 
OMB. The current application is due to expire on September 30, 2017.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
