From the time the emergency ICR was approved and this renewal period, two new modules capturing data from the public were identified/built. The addition of the Volunteer Time Tracker Module and the US Fish & Wildlife Service Volunteer Tracker Module account for the increase in burden.
Due to ROCIS limitations, all ICs within this ICR are identified as common forms, but it is important to note that DOI as the Host Agency only supports the use of the following modules and associated ICs as Common Forms:
- Volunteer Time Tracker
- Youth Partnership Tracking Module
- Partnership Module
- Cooperating Associate Module
All the above modules are available through Volunteer.gov.
