Comments

    A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the 
Federal Register on May 23, 2022 at Vol. 87, 3218. This comment period 
ended July, 23, 2022. Zero public comments were received from this 
Notice.
    Title of Collection: NCCC Service Project Application.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0010. Type of Review: Renewal.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Current and 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 
National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) team. Each year, AmeriCorps 
NCCC engages teams of members in projects in communities across the 
United States. 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 has made several changes to the application in an effort 
to streamline it for users. Based on feedback from stakeholders, the 
application now has additional project objective options users may 
select, and the radio buttons have been changed to check boxes to allow 
users to select as many objectives as they would like. The NCCC Service 
Project Application was also simplified by deleting the 
``Organizational Capacity'' and ``Needs'' narrative pages.
    AmeriCorps seeks to renew the current information collection.The 
revisions are intended to simplify the application process for 
prospective sponsors. The information collection will otherwise be used 
in the same manner as the existing application. AmeriCorps also seeks 
to continue using the current application until the revised application 
is approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on 10/31/
2022.

    Dated: July 26, 2022.
Walter Goodson,
Director, AmeriCorps NCCC.
