                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                 Title of Collection: President's Volunteer Service Awards, Parts A,
                B, C, D, and E.
                 OMB Control Number: 3045-0086. Type of Review: Renewal.
                 Respondents/Affected Public: All citizens of the United States.
                 Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 200,000.
                 Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 66,666 Hours
                (average 20 minutes per response).
                 Abstract: The President's Volunteer Service Awards are administered
                by CNCS per Executive Order 13285 and were established to recognize
                individuals, schools, and organizations that excel in efforts to
                support volunteer service and civic participation, especially with
                respect to students in primary schools, secondary schools, and
                institutions of higher learning. The information collected will be used
                to identify recipients of the President's Volunteer Service Awards. The
                information is collected electronically using a web-based system
                administered by contractor to CNCS. CNCS seeks to renew the current
                information collection.
                 The administering organization uses the collected information to
                review nominations of individuals and organization for compliance, and
                [[Page 37265]]
                awards are made on that basis. The collected information is also used
                to ensure the integrity of the program (so that, for example, an
                individual or organization does not receive an award twice for the same
                project), to gather data and report on the accomplishments of the
                program, for public awareness campaigns (such as press releases and
                website information on winning projects), and to further the purposes
                of Executive Order 13285, such as fostering partnerships, coordination
                of projects, and promoting civic engagement.
                 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 regulations.gov.
                 Dated: July 18, 2019.
