SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: President's Volunteer Service Awards, Parts A, 
B, C, D, and E.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0086. Type of Review: Renewal.
    Respondents/Affected Public: All citizens of the United States.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 200,000.

    Abstract: The President's Volunteer Service Awards are administered 
by CNCS per Executive Order 13285 and were established to recognize 
individuals, schools, and organizations that excel in efforts to 
support volunteer service and civic participation, especially with 
respect to students in primary schools, secondary schools, and 
institutions of higher learning. The information collected will be used 
to identify recipients of the President's Volunteer Service Awards. The 
information is collected electronically using a web-based system 
administered by contractor to CNCS. CNCS seeks to renew the current 
information collection.
    The administering organization uses the collected information to 
review nominations of individuals and organization for compliance, and

awards are made on that basis. The collected information is also used 
to ensure the integrity of the program (so that, for example, an 
individual or organization does not receive an award twice for the same 
project), to gather data and report on the accomplishments of the 
program, for public awareness campaigns (such as press releases and 
website information on winning projects), and to further the purposes 
of Executive Order 13285, such as fostering partnerships, coordination 
of projects, and promoting civic engagement.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden 
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information 
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. All written comments will be available for 
public inspection on regulations.gov.
