Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The program change due to agency discretion was a decision to pause collection of this information briefly in early August 2023 in order to allow the full 60-day period for comments, which expired August 2, 2023. AmeriCorps now seeks to reinstate the collection and seeks approval to begin collecting information for the next round of awards. The cost burden change due to adjustment in agency estimate is because the previous submission did not include any cost estimate.
