In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, this notice invites the public to comment on the proposed collection of information by the Peace Corps' Office of Communications. The Peace Corps' Office of Communications wishes to collect feedback from Peace Corps applicants and Returned Volunteers to help understand which factors are driving recruitment attrition, as well as what information or education needs would increase the conversion ratio. Former applicants and Returned Volunteers will be contacted by e-mail and will be asked to complete a quantitative online survey to better understand candidate motivation to serve as a volunteer, their perceptions of Peace Corps and their experience with Peace Corps' recruitment and selection process.

The Peace Corps is revising two of its existing systems of records notices subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a), PC-17Volunteer Applicant and Service Records System, and PC-18 Former Peace Corps Volunteers Database. The first revision adds a specific routine use to both PC-17 and PC-18. This specific routine use indicates that the Peace Corps may share Peace Corps Volunteer and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer contact information with educational institutions with which the Peace Corps has a Fellows/Masters International agreement which requires access to such information. The second revision adds another specific routine use to both PC-17 and PC- 18 indicating that the Peace Corps may share Peace Corps Volunteer and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer information with Returned Peace Corps Volunteer organizations that are furthering the Peace Corps' recruiting and third goal activities. The third revision indicates that all of the Peace Corps' General Routine Uses apply to PC-18. The fourth revision updates the System Manager information for PC-17.
