The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed establishment of the Disability Accommodation Reimbursement Request Form. This form will be used by grantees to submit required information when requesting reimbursement for the costs associated with the provision of reasonable accommodation services to facilitate accessibility by members with disabilities. Completion of the necessary information is required to obtain grant funding reimbursement support from AmeriCorps State & National. Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this Notice.

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), as 
part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the 
general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on 
proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. Sec. 
3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be 
provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial 
resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, 
and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can be properly 
assessed.
    Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed 
establishment of the Disability Accommodation Reimbursement Request 
Form. This form will be used by grantees to submit required information 
when requesting reimbursement for the costs associated with the 
provision of reasonable accommodation services to facilitate 
accessibility by members with disabilities. Completion of the necessary 
information is required to obtain grant funding reimbursement support 
from AmeriCorps State & National.
    Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by 
contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this Notice.

listed in the ADDRESSES section by March 15, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sean R. Scott, 202-606-3866, or by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is particularly interested in comments 
that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of CNCS, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are expected to respond, including the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses).

Background

    Grantees provide the information to request reimbursement for 
services associated with reasonable accommodation of AmeriCorps service 
members. The information will be collected electronically via email by

disability, type of accommodation, a brief statement regarding how the 
accommodation helps the member achieve full participation, requested 
reimbursement amount, if the reimbursement is quarterly of one-time and 
the projected cost for ongoing requests. All measures have been taken 
to reduce the presence of personally identifiable information.
    The information collection will otherwise be used in the same 
manner as the existing application. CNCS also seeks to continue using 
the current application until the revised application is approved by 
OMB. The current application is due to expire on TBD.
