Abstract: Various laws, statutes, and
regulations, to include the Public Lands
Corps Act (16 U.S.C. 1721 et. seq.), the
Outdoor Recreation Authority (16 U.S.C.
4601), Volunteers in the National
Forests Program (16 U.S.C. 558 a-d), and
the Forest Foundation Volunteers Act
(16 U.S.C. 583j), authorize Federal land
management agencies to work with
volunteers, youth, and partner
organizations to plan, develop,
maintain, and manage projects and
service activities on public lands and
adjacent projects throughout the nation.

We use volunteers, youth programs, and
partnerships to aid in disaster response,
interpretive functions, visitor services,
conservation measures and
development, research and
development, recreation, and or other
activities as allowed by an agency’s
policy and regulations. Providing,
collecting, and exchanging written and
electronic information is required from
potential and selected program
participants of all ages so they can
access opportunities and benefits
provided by agencies guidelines. Those
under the age of 18 years must have
written consent from a parent or
guardian to participate in volunteer
activities.
In this revision, Interior will request
OMB approval to assume the
management and responsibility of
common forms OF–301, OF–301a, and
OF–301b from the Department of
Agriculture—U.S. Forest Service
(currently approved under OMB Control
No. 0596–0080). These forms, available
for prospective volunteers to complete
electronically or as paper forms, serve
two functions:
• Recruiting potential volunteers, and
• Formalizing agreements between
current volunteers and the agencies
with which they are volunteering.
The customer relationship
management web-based portal,
Volunteer.gov, is the agencies’ response
to meeting the public’s request for
improved digital customer services to
access and apply for engagement
opportunities. Under one security
platform parameter, the Volunteer.gov
website provides prospective and
current program participants the ability
to establish an account for electronic
submission of program applications and
to obtain status of applications and
enrollments. Planned future
functionality will provide information
digitally on benefits and requirements,
and will facilitate improved tracking of
volunteer service hours. Currently, these
data points are tracked manually and
are accessible from agency volunteer
program coordinators.
This information collection
specifically minimizes the burden on
the respondents. While electronic
records provide a means to streamline
data collection and allow participant
access to track benefits and control the
sharing of their data, the participating
agencies will continue to provide
accessible paper versions of the
volunteer forms upon request and while
the functionality in the web-based
portal is being built.

• Department of the Interior: All
Interior offices and units, including
National Park Service, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land
Management, Bureau of Reclamation,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of
Surface Mining Reclamation and
Enforcement, and U.S. Geological
Survey.
• Department of Agriculture: U.S.

• Department of Defense: U.S. Army

• Department of Commerce: National

Common Forms
Forms OF–301—Volunteer
Application: Individuals interested in
volunteering may access the
Volunteer.gov website to complete an
on-line application on the Volunteer.gov
website. Alternatively, they may contact
any agency listed above to request a
Volunteer Application (Form OF–301).
We collect the following information
from applicants via Form OF–301:

(address, telephone number, and email
address);
• Date of birth (proposed new data
field);
• Preferred work categories;
• Interests;
• Citizenship status;
• Available dates and preferred
location;
• Physical limitations; and
• Lodging preferences.
Information collected using this form
or Volunteer.gov assists agency
volunteer coordinators and other
personnel in matching volunteers with
agency opportunities appropriate for an
applicant’s skills, physical condition,
and availability. We are proposing to
collect date of birth to be used along
with other unique identifiers for each
volunteer applicant. Using date of birth
will allow all participating agencies
across locations to better track
applicants via the Volunteer.gov
website.
Forms OF–301A—Volunteer Service
Agreement: We use this form to
establish agreements for volunteer
services between Federal agencies and
individual or group volunteers, to
include eligible international
volunteers. We require the signature of
parents or guardians for all applicants
under 18 years of age. We collect the
following information from volunteers
via Form OF–301A:

• Name and contact information
(address, telephone number, and email
address);
• Date of birth (proposed new data
field);
• Citizenship information; and,
• Emergency contact information.
Forms OF–301A describe the service
a volunteer will perform, and asks a
volunteer to confirm their
understanding of the purpose of the
volunteer program, their fitness and
ability to perform the duties as
described, and whether they consent to
being photographed. We are proposing
to collect date of birth to be used along
with other unique identifiers for each
volunteer applicant. Using date of birth
will allow all participating agencies
across locations to track their volunteer
hours.
Forms OF–301B—Volunteer Group
Sign-up: We use this form to document
awareness and understanding by adult
individuals in groups about the
volunteer activities between a Federal
agency and a partner organization with
group participants, and accompanies the
Form OF–301a. We collect the following
information from volunteers via Form
OF–301b:
• Name and contact information
(address, telephone number, and email
address);
• Month and year of birth (proposed
new data field);
• Confirmation of understanding of
the purpose of the volunteer program;
• Fitness and ability to perform the
duties as described; and
• Whether they consent to being
photographed.
We are proposing to collect month
and year of birth to be used along with
other unique identifiers for each
volunteer applicant. Using month and
year of birth will allow all participating
agencies across locations to track their
volunteer hours across positions.
Each participating agency must
request OMB approval of, and report
their own burden associated with, the
use of common forms OF–301, OF–
301a, and OF–301b in order to be
authorized to participate in this
information collection. Interior will not
assume the burden for any agencies
other than its own bureaus and offices
that participate in the volunteer
program.
Additionally, we are proposing to
change the title of this information
collection from ‘‘Natural and Cultural
Resource Agencies Customer
Relationship Management’’ to
‘‘Administration of Volunteer.gov
website and Associated Volunteer
Activities’’ to clarify the purpose of the
information collection for the public.

Confirmation of understanding of the purpose of the
volunteer program;
Fitness and ability to perform the duties as described;
and
Whether they consent to being photographed.
We are proposing to collect month and year of birth to be used
along with other unique identifiers for each volunteer applicant. Using
month and year of birth will allow all participating agencies across
locations to track their volunteer hours across positions.
Each participating agency must request OMB approval of, and report
their own burden associated with, the use of common forms OF-301, OF-
301a, and OF-301b in order to be authorized to participate in this
information collection. Interior will not assume the burden for any
agencies other than its own bureaus and offices that participate in the
volunteer program.
Additionally, we are proposing to change the title of this
information collection from ``Natural and Cultural Resource Agencies
Customer Relationship Management'' to ``Administration of Volunteer.gov
website and Associated Volunteer Activities'' to clarify the purpose of
the information collection for the public.
Title of Collection: Administration of Volunteer.gov website and
Associated Volunteer Activities.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
