    Abstract: All members in the three AmeriCorps programs--AmeriCorps 
State & National, VISTA, and the National Civilian Community Corps 
(NCCC)--are invited to complete a questionnaire upon completing their 
service term. The questionnaire asks members about their motivations 
for joining AmeriCorps, experiences while serving, and future plans and 
aspirations. Completion of the questionnaire is not required to 
successfully exit AmeriCorps or to receive any stipends, education 
awards, or other benefits of service. The purpose of the information 
collection is to learn more about the member experience and

members' perceptions of their AmeriCorps experience so that AmeriCorps 
can improve the program. Members complete the questionnaire 
electronically through the AmeriCorps Member Portal. Members are 
invited to respond as their exit date nears and are allowed to respond 
for an indefinite period following the original invitation.
    AmeriCorps seeks to revise the current information collection. The 
questionnaire submitted for clearance will be revised to change 
response options for one of the questions or to add a new question, as 
needed, to better obtain information on self-efficacy. AmeriCorps also 
seeks to continue using the currently approved information collection 
until the renewed information collection is approved by OMB. The 
current application expires on May 31, 2024.
    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.
