    Abstract: AmeriCorps seeks renewal of the current information 
collection. AmeriCorps uses the information collected through Disaster 
Response Cooperative Agreements (DCRAs) to more effectively use its 
deployable resources to meet the needs of disaster-affected 
communities. An understanding of the participating programs allows 
AmeriCorps to match the capabilities of the programs to the needs of 
the communities and will allow better asset mapping and resource 
typing. This information collection helps AmeriCorps identify and 
deploy programs effectively and efficiently, and ensures interested 
programs meet the appropriate programmatic and fiscal requirements to 
successfully execute disaster response activities. Additionally, the 
collected information will allow AmeriCorps to conduct better outreach 
to interested programs by providing them with more information about 
the agency's disaster procedures, reimbursement requirements, and 
support services offered. The forms under the DRCA help the agency 
efficiently collect information during a disaster event as well as 
assess the capacity of all DRCA programs throughout the year. Forms are 
completed electronically and emailed to AmeriCorps. A revision to this 
information collection is requested to include a new reporting form for 
non-mission assignment disaster response. The current application is 
due to expire on March 31, 2024.

Alexander Garcia,
Deputy Director, AmeriCorps NCCC.
