SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: AmeriCorps NCCC Service Project Application.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0010. Type of Review: Renewal.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Current/prospective AmeriCorps NCCC 
sponsors.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,800.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 17,100.
    Abstract: The AmeriCorps NCCC Service Project Application is 
completed by organizations interested in sponsoring an AmeriCorps NCCC 
team. Each year, AmeriCorps NCCC engages teams of members in service 
projects in communities across the United States. The service projects, 
which typically last from six to eight weeks, address critical needs in 
natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental 
stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural 
development. Members construct and rehabilitate low-income housing, 
respond to natural disasters, clean up streams, help communities 
develop emergency plans, and address other local needs. AmeriCorps also 
seeks to continue using the currently approved information collection 
until the revised information collection is approved by OMB. There have 
been several changes made in an effort to streamline the document for 
users. Based on feedback from stakeholders, the document now has 
additional project objective options for users to select and the radio 
buttons have been changed to check boxes to allow for users to select 
as many objectives as they would like. The NCCC Service Project 
Application was simplified by deleting the ``Organizational Capacity'' 
and ``Needs'' narrative pages. The currently approved information 
collection is due to expire on 10/31/22.
    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.

    Dated: May 16, 2022.
Jacob Sgambati,
Deputy Director.
