Comments

    A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the 
Federal Register on November 3, 2023 at 88 FR 75564. The comment period 
ended January 2, 2024. No public comments were received.
    Title of Collection: AmeriCorps External Reviewer Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 3045-0192. Type of Review: Revision.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 300.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 75.
    Abstract: AmeriCorps seeks to revise the current information 
collection to update the survey instrument. The External Reviewer 
Survey is used by individuals who have served as External Reviewers or 
External Panel Coordinators for AmeriCorps to review grant 
applications. AmeriCorps uses the collected information to assess and 
make improvements to its grant competitions. The information is 
collected electronically. The revisions are intended to make the survey 
more user-friendly by separating out each component of the question for 
which responses are sought, increasing the number of response choices, 
and eliminating inapplicable questions. The information collection will 
otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application. The 
currently approved information collection is due to expire on March 31, 
2024. AmeriCorps seeks to continue using the current survey until the 
revised version is approved by OMB.

Iyauta Green,
Director, Office of Grant Administration.
