Abstract: The PCR Expedited Reinstatement Application is to reengage with the recently evacuated RPCVs by providing a straightforward process and opportunity to reenter volunteer service.

Emergency Justfication: The Peace Corps is seeking an emergency authorization to collect information from Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs), including Volunteers, Trainees, and Response Volunteers, who were recently evacuated from their countries of service in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic. The purpose of the Peace Corps Response (PCR) Expedited Reinstatement Application is to reengage with the recently evacuated RPCVs by providing a straightforward process and opportunity to reenter volunteer service. It has been streamlined by removing unnecessary questions that remain in the original application form (OMB Control number 0420-0547). It is also critical that the Peace Corps rebuild its volunteer program as soon as possible. Currently there are not any active Peace Corps Volunteers or PCR Volunteers. This expedited application serves for Peace Corps Response.
