BILLING CODE 6351-01-M CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service. ACTION: Notice.

Background This form or its electronic equivalent is used by AmeriCorps members to request a payment from their education award accounts, by schools and lenders to verify eligibility for the payments, and by both parties to verify certain legal requirements. Current Action The Corporation seeks to renew and revise the current form. The revisions include minor format and textual changes to enhance clarity and ease of use. The application will otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application. The Corporation also seeks to continue using the current application until the revised application is approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on October 31, 2007. *Type of Review:* Renewal. *Agency:* Corporation for National and Community Service. *Title:* Voucher and Payment Request Form. *OMB Number:* 3045-0014. *Agency Number:* None. *Affected Public:* Individuals who have completed a term of national service who wish to access their education award accounts. *Total Respondents:* 45,000 responses annually, using the paper form. *Frequency:* Some members may not ever use the education award and others use it several times a year. Currently, about half of the education award payments are processed electronically. The Corporation expects the use of paper forms to decrease over the next few years. *Average Time Per Response:* Total of 5 minutes (one half minute for the AmeriCorps member's section and 4 1/2 minutes for the school or lender). *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 3,750 hours. *Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):* None. *Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance):* None.
