CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Submission for OMB Emergency Review

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service, operating 
as AmeriCorps, has submitted a public information collection request 
(ICR) entitled COVID-19 Service Activity Reporting for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.

DATES: Unfortunately, since AmeriCorps is requesting OMB's approval of 
this emergency request by March 18, 2021, there will not be enough time 
for the public to provide comments through this Federal Register Notice 
before the requested approval date. Therefore, there will be no comment 
period for this request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Copies of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by calling AmeriCorps, Robin 
Corindo, at 202-489-5578 or by email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AmeriCorps Seniors has proposed an 
electronic collection technique of an online survey as a way to 
minimize the burden of the collection of the information. The survey 
will be submitted only once per grantee and estimated time for 
completion is less than 30 minutes, based on staff testing of the 
survey. The survey will be submitted electronically, can be completed 
across multiple technical platforms, and questions have been crafted 
for ease of reporting and efficient collection. The survey will be 
complemented with an in-depth set of instructions. Staff will also be 
available to provide individualized assistance, if needed.

Comments

    Title of Collection: AmeriCorps Seniors Alternative Service Plan 
Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0035 Type of Review: New Information 
Collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Nonprofit organizations that are 
grantees of AmeriCorps Seniors.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,100.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 550 hours.
    Abstract: The information provided by the survey will enable 
AmeriCorps to learn if and how current grantees are engaged in service 
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Additionally, it provides information to AmeriCorps Seniors about 
how soon grantees can begin in-person service activities and the 
likelihood they can do so. This will enable AmeriCorps Seniors to 
better target training and technical assistance to grantees. 
Information collected will also influence the decision as to extending 
the March 31 deadline of the temporary allowance--the small payments 
made to volunteers who are unable to serve due to COPVID-19--in lieu of 
their traditional stipend.

    Dated: March 10, 2021.

Director, AmeriCorps Seniors.
