Proposed Information Collection;

Corporation for National and
Community Service.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Corporation for National
and Community Service (CNCS), as part
of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)).
This program helps to ensure that
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirement on respondents can be
properly assessed.
Currently, CNCS is soliciting
comments concerning its proposed
renewal of the AmeriCorps Interest
Payment Form/AmeriCorps—Manual
Interest Payment Request Form
(OMB#3045–0053). The AmeriCorps
Interest Payment Form/AmeriCorps—
Manual Interest Payment Request Form
(OMB#3045–0053) is used to pay all or
a portion of the interest that accrues on
a member’s qualified student loan
during their service period, if their loans
were in forbearance and if they
successfully completed their term of
service. This payment is in addition to
the education award. The intention is to
keep the qualified student loan debt of
members from increasing as a result of
their national service. The percentage of
accrued interest CNCS pays is
determined by a formula based on the
member’s term of service.
Copies of the information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this Notice.

Current Action
CNCS seeks to renew the current
information collection request. After an
AmeriCorps member completes a period
of national and community service, the
individual receives an education award
that can be used to pay against qualified
student loans or pay for current postsecondary educational expenses.
AmeriCorps members use the
AmeriCorps Interest Payment Form/
AmeriCorps—Manual Interest Payment
Request Form to request a payment of
accrued interest on qualified student
loans and to authorize the release of
loan information to the National Service
Trust; schools and lenders verify
eligibility for the payments; and both
parties verify certain legal requirements.
The information collection will
otherwise be used in the same manner
as the existing form. CNCS also seeks to
continue using the current form until
the revised form is approved by OMB.
The current application is due to expire
on March 31, 2016.
Type of Review: Renewal.
Agency: CNCS.
Title: AmeriCorps Interest Payment
Form.
OMB Number: 3045–0053.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: AmeriCorps
Members/Alum that have completed a
term of national service who seek to
have the interest that has accrued on
their qualified student loans during
their service term repaid and qualified
loan servicers.
Total Respondents: 13,200.
Frequency: One or more per education
award.
Average Time Per Response: Averages
5 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,100.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): None.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of

information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
