SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: AmeriCorps State and National Application
Instructions.
OMB Control Number: 3045-0047.
Type of Review: Revision.
Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and organizations, and
State, local, or Tribal governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 450.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 18,000.
Abstract: The application instructions conform to AmeriCorps'
online grant application system, eGrants, which applicants must use to
respond to AmeriCorps Notices of Funding Opportunities. AmeriCorps is
seeking to revise the application instructions to address how
unexpended funds are handled (see Carry Forward Funding section in
Continuations); remove the fixed percentage rate method as an option
for calculating administrative/indirect costs for cost-reimbursement
grants (see Attachment B of the form); update the de minimis indirect
cost rate; add a new Attachment I: State Commission Recommendation and
Ranking Guidance; add clarifying language (e.g., identifying the hours
for a full Member Service Year (MSY); and reflect regulatory changes
since the last renewal, including, for example, updating the match
requirements and updating terminology. AmeriCorps also seeks to
continue using the currently approved information collection until the
revised information collection is approved by OMB. The currently
approved information collection is due to expire on September 30, 2026.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. All written comments will be available for
public inspection on <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a>.
