Abstract:
This information collection seeks feedback on AmeriCorps Day of Service Application Instructions for future MLK and 9/11 Day of Service grant competitions after the expiration of the current Application Instructions. AmeriCorps seeks to revise the current information collection instrument to reflect the Single Audit threshold of $1,000,000 (formerly $750,000), revise the definition of “equipment” to reflect an acquisition cost of $10,000 or more per unit (formerly $5,000), and update the de minimis rate to 15% of modified total direct costs (formerly 10%). The information collection will be used in the same manner as the existing collection. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the current information collection until OMB approves the revision. The current information collection is due to expire on March 31, 2026.

Acting Chief of Program Operations.
