SAM.gov.
The VISTA Progress Report and Progress Report Supplement were not revised. The information collection will otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the current application until the revised application is approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on March 31, 2024.
