information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Comments

    A 60-day notice requesting public comment was published in the 
Federal Register on November, 14, 2022 at Vol. 87 FR 68139. This 
comment period ended January 19, 2023. Three public comments were 
received in response to that notice. One anonymous commenter generally 
said AmeriCorps should make it easier for organizations providing 
accommodations to be reimbursed, but did not provide any specific 
suggestions for how to do so. Another commenter supported the comments 
from the third commenter and in particular highlighted that AmeriCorps' 
estimated time burden is unrealistic. AmeriCorps has adjusted its time 
burden estimate in response to these comments, increasing the time per 
response from 9 minutes to 20 minutes as suggested. A few comments 
related to funding processes and the provision of training on diversity 
inclusion and accommodation, which are beyond the scope of this 
information collection request. Comments also requested updating the 
form to reflect AmeriCorps' branding and specifying the point of 
contact is at the prime level. AmeriCorps has incorporated these 
changes into the form and is investigating the feasibility of changing 
the form to a web-based form, as suggested.
    Title of Collection: Disability Accommodation Reimbursement Request 
Form.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0179.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals, Businesses, 
Organizations, State, Local and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 20.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 7.
    Abstract: AmeriCorps grantees provide the information to request 
reimbursement for services associated with reasonable accommodation of 
AmeriCorps service members. The information will be collected 
electronically via email by submission of this form and the receipt(s) 
for services. AmeriCorps seeks to renew the current information 
collection without revisions. The information collection will 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 January 
31, 2023.
