Notice of the information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on May 25, 2011, at 76 FR 12939, allowing for a 60-day public comment period. Peace Corps received 16 identical comments stating that ‘‘the Peace Corps must ensure that the proposed information collection activity screens out and excludes those individuals motivated exclusively (or near exclusively) to promote or participate in the harmful male genital mutilation known as circumcision.’’ As the NAC Questionnaire for Peace Corps Volunteer Background Investigation (OMB Control Number 0420–0001) requests only identifying information about Volunteer applicants in order to locate records pertaining to applicants’ legal activities and legal suitability for Peace Corps Volunteer service. As those records are not likely to contain information concerning views about circumcision, it will not be possible to make such a judgment about applicants using this form. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comments. Written comments and SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM 17AUN1
