    General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps uses the 
Intelligence Background Questionnaire to determine what kind of 
intelligence connection an applicant or an applicant's relative might 
have and how close an applicant and a relative with an intelligence 
connection are. This form is a supplement to the Intelligence 
Background Questionnaire (OMB Control Number 0420-0551) which requires 
additional information to determine whether the intelligence connection 
is substantial enough to prevent the person from being employed at the 
Peace Corps or being a Volunteer for the Peace Corps permanently or for 
a set period of time from the last intelligence connection. If an 
applicant disagrees with the Peace Corps' determination, he or she may 
appeal the determination to the Director of the Peace Corps.
    Request for Comment: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the 
proposed collection of information is 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 September 5, 2024.

FOIA/Privacy Act Officer.
