🇬🇧 English

AmeriCorps (formerly the Corporation for National and Community Service) has submitted an information collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The ICR covers the Day of Service Application Instructions used for two nationally recognized service days: Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance. The application instructions govern how organizations, community groups, and individuals apply to participate in or receive support for coordinated volunteer service events on these two federal days of service. The submission to OMB is a routine administrative step required before any public information collection can be conducted or continued by a federal agency. This notice invites public comment on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the proposed information collection, consistent with standard Paperwork Reduction Act procedures. Stakeholders have an opportunity to submit feedback to OMB regarding whether the collection is necessary, whether the burden estimate is accurate, and how the quality or utility of the information could be improved.
