ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--

     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the

Comments

    A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the 
Federal Register on March 15, 2024 at 89 FR 18913. This comment period 
ended May 14, 2024. Two public comments were received from this Notice.
     Two commenters suggested increasing the character limit 
for the position description. AmeriCorps will not incorporate this 
comment because, while it understands the concern, the agency is 
intentional about wanting concise descriptions to avoid sharing too 
much information on position listings. The agency encourages programs 
to use longer descriptions on their own websites as part of the 
application, rather than on ACC.gov. ACC.gov points applicants to the 
program websites for more detailed information.
     Two commenters suggested revisions to the process for 
collecting information that would allow for editing or reusing 
information about each program. The agency will incorporate this 
comment for future versions of the form when the collection tool has 
the technical capabilities to allow for this.
     One commenter suggested clearer field descriptions for 
questions. The agency will continue to improve field descriptions for 
clarity in future versions.
     One commenter suggested revisions to the location category 
of the form so that multiple locations can be selected. AmeriCorps 
accepts this comment and will work to offer this function, technology 
permitting.
     One commenter suggested not using the term ``hourly pay.'' 
The agency accepts this comment and has revised the field to ask for 
hourly pay equivalent.
    Title of Collection: American Climate Corps Recruitment Form.
    OMB Control Number: TBD. Type of Review: New.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and Organizations.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 300.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 200.
    Abstract: This is a new information collection. ACC.gov will be a 
recruitment portal where American Climate Corps programs can post 
information about their service opportunities, such as what the service 
opportunity will be, where it will occur, and how much it will pay. The 
website's intent is for the public to see all available American 
Climate Corps service opportunities in one central location and to 
review a description of

the activity and information about the American Climate Corps program. 
If a member of the public would like to apply, they can follow a link 
posted on the service opportunity page, which will take them to the 
program's application. ACC.gov will not include an application to 
serve. ACC.gov will streamline the American Climate Corps' ability to 
reach a wide audience of applicants, aiming to increase participation 
in American Climate Corps programs and make it substantially easier for 
the public to find opportunities to serve.
