Volunteering and Civic Life reports, tables and data are made public on the AmeriCorps VCLA website and specialized tables are made available upon request.

These measures include formal volunteering in an organization; a person’s interactions with family, friends and neighbors; participation in community events; informal interactions; communication with one another on issues of public concern; and interactions with public and private institutions. AmeriCorps has partnered with the US Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to collect data and produced annual volunteering reports since 2002. Currently, AmeriCorps is soliciting comments concerning its proposed renewal of the Current Population Survey Volunteering and Civic Engagement Supplement. AmeriCorps is directed by Congress to collect data and produce reports on the Nation’s civic health and volunteering activity (Authority: 42 U.S.C. 12639(a); 13 U.S.C. 8(b); 29 U.S.C. 1). AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the currently approved information collection until the revised information collection is approved by OMB.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. Respondents’ Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits. Frequency: On occasion. Number of Respondents: 1,000. Responses per Respondent: 14. Annual Responses: 14,000. Average Burden per Response: 1.2 hours. Annual Burden Hours: 16,800. Needs and Uses: • DFARS 252.232–7007, Limitation of Government’s Obligation. The data submitted by contractors enables contracting officers to calculate improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both industry (prime contractor and subcontractor level) and the taxpayer. DFARS 252.232–7007 is prescribed for use in solicitations and resultant incrementally-funded fixed-price contracts. Paragraph (c) of the clause requires a written notification from the contractor that: (1) states the estimated date when the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable items; (2) states an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date; and (3) advises the contracting officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the items funded pursuant to the clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule, or otherwise agreed to by the parties to the contract. • DFARS subpart 232.10, Performance-Based Payments, 252.232– PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7012, Performance Based Payments— Whole Contract Basis, and 252.232– 7013, Performance Based Payments— Deliverable-Item Basis. Contracting officers use the information provided by contractors to create a cash-flow model for use in evaluating alternative financing arrangements. The analysis tool calculates improved financing opportunities that will provide benefit to both industry (prime contractor and subcontractor level) and the taxpayer. DFARS subpart 232.10 requires the contracting officer, when considering performance-based payments, to obtain from the contractor a proposed performance-based payments schedule which includes all performance-based payments events, completion criteria and event values along with the expected expenditure profile. DFARS 252.232–7012 requires contractors to report the negotiated value of all previously completed performance-based payments; negotiated value of current performance-based payment(s) event(s); cumulative negotiated value of performance-based payment(s) events completed to date; total costs incurred to date; cumulative amount of payments previously requested; and the payment amount requested for the current performance-based payment. DFARS 252.232–7013 requires contractors to report the negotiated value of current performance-based payment(s) event(s); cumulative negotiated value of performance-based payment(s) events completed to date; total costs incurred to date; cumulative amount of payments previously requested; and the payment amount requested for the current performancebased payment.
