Federal Register preceding submission to OMB.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 24, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Peace Corps Awareness and Affinity: National Survey of U.S. 
Adults.
    OMB Control Number: 0420-0575.
    Form number: PC-2210.
    Type of Request: Renewal with Change.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Respondents Obligation to Reply: Voluntary.
    Respondents: Members of the public and prospective Peace Corps 
Volunteer applicants.
    Burden to the Public:
    (a) Estimated number of respondents: 6, 200.
    (b) Frequency of response: Twice.
    (c) Estimated average burden per response: .188 hours.
    (d) Estimated total reporting burden: 2333.32 hours.

    General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps will renew its 
national awareness and recruitment campaign to promote the 
organization; its mission, goals, and values; and to attract and 
recruit qualified Volunteer applicants. The Peace Corps' Office of 
Communications will use the information collected by the Peace Corps 
Awareness and Affinity: National Survey of U.S. Adults to assess the 
effectiveness of the campaign. The Peace Corps conducted this survey in 
2023, which proved beneficial in measuring general awareness and 
affinity for the Peace Corps; drivers, barriers, and motivations 
related to the application process; and perceptions of our audiences 
following the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to when the survey was 
conducted in 2023, the Peace Corps will collect information to help 
broaden the pool of potential Volunteers and engage new audiences--this 
time to help meet the agency's goal of sending 8,000 qualified 
Volunteers overseas by 2030. The information collection will also be 
used to gather insights to identify key audience segments and help 
ensure the efficiency and success of future marketing efforts by:
     Identifying levels of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and 
opinions about the Peace Corps among the general U.S. public and 
targeted audience segments;
     Collecting insights to inform communications, education, 
and outreach strategies by understanding which themes resonate most 
with different audience segments; and
     Determining the best channels for communication.
    The Office of Communications will conduct this survey twice for 
optimal monitoring and evaluation.
    Request for Comment: The Peace Corps invites comments on whether 
the proposed collections of information are 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 19, 2025.
