I. Background

    The Corporation for National and Community Service administers 
Martin Luther King, Jr., Service Day as part of the National Service 
Act (42 U.S.C. 12653(s)). To support the success of this service day, 
the Corporation for National and Community Service seeks to help 
promote this program to potential participants through a voluntary 
online project registration. Martin Luther King, Jr., Service Day 
projects, whether funded by the Corporation or not, will be able to 
register their projects, indicate if they need additional volunteers, 
and list specific project details. The information collected will be 
used to post the projects on the Corporation's Martin Luther King, Jr., 
Service Day Web site at https://www.MLKDay.gov and to contact these 
projects to provide support materials such as toolkits and posters. 
This information is used to determine that there is a diversity of 
projects and a sufficient saturation of locations to provide volunteers 
with opportunities to participate. The collection of this information 
will help the Corporation focus its resources in the most efficient 
manner.
