Abstract

    CNCS seeks renewal of the current information collection pursuant 
to the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4950 et seq.) 
and the National and Community Service Act of 1990, (42 U.S.C. 12501 et 
seq.) The information collected will be used to help CNCS more 
effectively utilize its deployable resources to meet the needs of 
disaster affected communities. A better understanding of the 
participating programs will allow CNCS to match the capabilities of the 
programs to the needs of the communities and will allow better asset 
mapping and resource typing. Additionally, the information collected 
will allow CNCS to conduct better outreach to interested programs by 
providing them with more information about CNCS disaster procedures, 
reimbursement requirements, and support services offered.
    The revisions are intended to streamline the application process 
and ensure interested programs meet the appropriate programmatic and 
fiscal requirements to successfully execute disaster response 
activities. Additionally, the supporting forms will help CNCS identify 
and deploy programs more effectively and efficiently, matching the 
capabilities of the programs to the needs of the communities requesting 
assistance. The additional tools and forms under the DRCA will allow 
for effective information collection during a disaster event as well as 
assess the capacity of all DRCA programs throughout the year. 
Information will be collected electronically through completion of the 
forms and emailed to CNCS. 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 December 31, 2017.

    Dated: July 10, 2017.
Kelly DeGraff,
Senior Advisor, Disaster Services Unit, Corporation for National and 
Community Service.
