completed a term of national service who seek to have the interest that 
has accrued on their qualified student loans during their service term 
repaid and qualified loan servicers.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 13,200.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,100.

    Abstract: After an AmeriCorps member completes a period of national 
and community service, the individual receives an education award that 
can be used to pay against qualified student loans or pay for current 
post-secondary educational expenses. AmeriCorps members use the 
AmeriCorps Interest Payment Form/AmeriCorps--Manual Interest Payment 
Request Form to request a payment of accrued interest on qualified 
student loans and to authorize the release of loan information to the 
National Service Trust; schools and lenders verify eligibility for the 
payments; and both parties verify certain legal requirements. CNCS 
seeks to renew the current information collection request. 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 August 31, 2019.

    Dated: September 3, 2019.
Jerry Prentice,
Director of the National Service Trust.
