This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

Title of Collection: AmeriCorps VISTA Application and Reporting Forms.
OMB Control Number: 3045-0038.
Type of Review: Revision.
Respondents/Affected Public: Businesses and Organizations, State, Local or Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 750.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13,763.
Abstract: AmeriCorps seeks to revise the concept paper and project application instructions, continuation application instructions, project progress report instructions, and support grant budget instructions in the current information collection. The revisions streamline content, ensure use of plain English with use of the second person, separate systems instructions from content explanations, update terminology, and divide narrative fields into clearer subsections to organize content. No revisions are being made to the VISTA Progress Report Supplement (VPRS) instructions. The information collection will otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application and reporting forms. AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the current forms until the revised forms are approved by OMB. The currently approved information collection is due to expire on March 31, 2027.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB ( printed page 24530) approval. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. All written comments will be available for public inspection on regulations.gov.

Acting Director, AmeriCorps VISTA.
