AmeriCorps External Reviewer Application Instructions – Information Collection Renewal
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Corporation for National and Community Service, operating under the AmeriCorps brand, has published a notice in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 announcing its intent to renew an existing information collection process. This collection specifically targets individuals who wish to serve as external reviewers for AmeriCorps grant applications. External reviewers play a critical role in the grant evaluation process by independently assessing applications submitted by organizations seeking AmeriCorps funding. The application instructions govern what information these prospective reviewers must submit to be considered for the reviewer pool. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, the agency is soliciting public comments on the renewal of this information collection, giving stakeholders the opportunity to weigh in on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the data being collected from applicants. This is an administrative procedural notice with no new policy changes; it reflects routine compliance with federal information management law and does not alter the underlying AmeriCorps grant-making framework.
