Award Form, and Rescind Acceptance of Award Transfer Form

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 requirements 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 requests can be obtained 
by contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this 
Notice.
    Copies of this information collection request, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by calling the Corporation 
for National and Community Service, Nahid Jarrett, at 202-606-6753 or 
email to [email protected]. Individuals who use a telecommunications 
device for the deaf (TTY-TDD) may call 1-800-833-3722 between 8:00 a.m. 
and 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

DATES: Comments may be submitted, identified by the title of the 
information collection activity, by November 17, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted, identified by the title of the 
information collection activity, to the Office of the National Service

Service, National Service Trust, Attention: Nahid Jarrett, 250 E. St. 
SW., Washington, DC 20525.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OMB is particularly interested in 
comments which:
     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;
     Propose ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and
     Propose ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

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 forms until the revised forms are approved by OMB. The 
current information collection is due to expire on September 30, 2017.
    Description: 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.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
