    General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps experienced 
unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, including 
recalling its entire Volunteer workforce in March 2020. The Peace Corps 
will launch a new national awareness and recruitment campaign as it 
returns to full service to promote the organization, its mission, 
goals, and values, and to attract and recruit qualified and diverse 
Volunteer applicants. The Peace Corps' Office of Communications will 
use the information collected by the Peace Corps Awareness and 
Affinity: National Survey of U.S. Adults to help assess the 
effectiveness of the new campaign. The survey will also collect 
information to help broaden the pool of potential Volunteers and engage 
more diverse audiences. This information collection will also be used 
to gather information and insights to identify key audience segments 
and help ensure the efficiency and success of future marketing efforts 
by:
     Identifying levels of awareness, knowledge, attitudes and 
opinions about the Peace Corps among the general U.S. public and 
targeted audience segments;
     Collecting insights to inform communications, education, 
and outreach strategies by understanding which themes resonate most 
with different audience segments; and,
     Determining the best channels for communication
    The Office of Communications will conduct this survey twice: once 
to serve as a baseline prior to the launch of its national awareness 
and recruitment campaign, and once after the campaign has launched to 
assess campaign impact.
    Request for Comment: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the 
proposed collections of information are necessary for proper 
performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the 
information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are 
to respond, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.

    This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on October 11, 2022.
