Short Statement:
AmeriCorps Seniors updated the estimated Hours per Response from 0.42 to 1 hour due to a re-estimation of the amount of burden that the collection imposes. AmeriCorps’ new estimate is based on consultation with a sample of potential respondents. The decrease in adjustment results from removal of information collections (ICs) from prior years so that this ICR includes only the most current versions of the instruments in use. In most of the instruments, the agency has not made any change to the collection itself since the last approval, and thus there is simply an adjustment to a previously approved burden estimate. The only revisions being made to an information collection instrument are revisions to the Progress Report Supplement, which deletes several questions for which data is not currently used and adds a fewer number of questions that now relate to AmeriCorps’ Strategic Plan goals. The newly added questions are needed to report out on Strategic Plan objectives, specifically the socioeconomic status of AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers. The revision results in an increase in hours for the IC of 3,625 hours. However, the two legacy ICs that are deleted result in a decrease of 20,020 hours (17,820 hours + 2,200 hours), resulting in an overall decrease in hours of 16,395 for this ICR. The number of responses also decreases because the legacy ICs are deleted, resulting in a decrease of 5,650 responses (1,250 responses + 4,400 responses) for this ICR.
