CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

AmeriCorps* Leaders Program (AC*L); Information Collection

Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Information Collection Request Submitted to the Federal Office

of Management and Budget (FOMB) for Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice provides information about a data collection

proposal by AmeriCorps* Leaders, currently under review by the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB). The revised AmeriCorps Leaders

Application is a document, based on the previously approved Leaders

application (OMB Approval No. 3045-0005). It is to be used for the

purpose of screening applicants in the recruitment process for the

AmeriCorps Leaders. The revisions are as follows:

A. Page One, section III., ``National and Community Service

Background,'' was redesigned with the, ``Skills and Employment

History,'' title. This section requests Leader applicants complete the

following ``Skills Self-Assessment'' and to attach a resume-type

document which includes a listing of professional experience and

service organizations with whom the applicant has worked.

B. The section IV., ``Skills in National Service Priority Areas'',

was replaced with a ``Skills Self-Assessment.''

C. The applicant reference form was expanded to include a skills

assessment from the reference. The skills assessment form works with

the same list as the self-assessment form.

DATES: An expedited review has been requested in accordance with the

Act, since allowing for the normal review period would adversely affect

the public interest. OMB and AmeriCorps* Leaders will consider comments

on the proposed collection of information and record keeping

requirements received by April 6, 1995.
