Background
This form or the electronic equivalent
are used by AmeriCorps members to
request a postponement, during their
term of service, of their obligation to
make payment on qualified student
loans while they are earning a minimal
living allowance in their national
service position. The form provides
proof that the borrower is serving in an
approved national service position,
thereby meeting the criteria for the
mandatory forbearance based on
national service. The form has a
‘‘Manual’’ version generated from the
online request when the institution is
not registered online, which provides
the AmeriCorps member’s electronic
signature; the non-electronic version
provides a space for the member and the
authorized program official to sign.
Current Action
The Corporation seeks to renew the
current form. The application will be
used in the same manner as the existing
application. The Corporation also seeks
to continue using the current
application until the revised application
is approved by OMB. The current
application is due to expire on July 31,
2008.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Agency: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: Forbearance Request for
National Service Form.
OMB Number: 3045–0030.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: Individuals who have
enrolled in a term of national service
who wish to postpone loan payments on
qualified loans while they serve.
Total Respondents: 11,000 responses
annually, using the paper form.
Frequency: Some members do not
have any qualified student loans while
others have several. Currently, we
estimate about half of the forbearance
requests are processed electronically.
The Corporation expects the use of
paper forms to decrease over the next
few years.
Average Time per Response: Total of
10 minutes (nine minutes for the
AmeriCorps member’s section (nonelectronic version) and one minute for
certification).
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,833
hours.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): None.

for the proper performance of the
functions of the Corporation, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

Background
This form or its electronic equivalent
is used by AmeriCorps members to
request a payment of the interest
accruing on qualified loans during the
AmeriCorps member’s term of service, if
their loans were in forbearance during
their service and if they successfully
complete their terms of service. The
form serves to give the member’s
permission to and directs the loan
holder to release loan information to the
Corporation so that the National Service
Trust can make the interest payment.
The form has a ‘‘Manual’’ version
generated from the online request when
the institution is not registered online,
which provides the member’s electronic
signature; the non-electronic version
provides a space for the member and the
loan holder to sign.
Current Action
The Corporation seeks to renew the
current form. The application will be

application. The Corporation also seeks
to continue using the current

must use the funds to support programs
that show the promise of being
continued beyond the grant period and
demonstrate approaches that can be
disseminated to and duplicated in other
LEAs. Projects supported under this
program may also include a professional

Competitive Preference Priorities #1
through #4 are from section 5493 of the
