The information collected will be used to identify recipients of the President's Volunteer Service Awards. The information is collected electronically using a web-based system administered by contractor to CNCS. CNCS seeks to renew the current information collection. The administering organization uses the collected information to review nominations of individuals and organization for compliance, and awards are made on that basis. The collected information is also used to ensure the integrity of the program (so that, for example, an individual or organization does not receive an award twice for the same project), to gather data and report on the accomplishments of the program, for public awareness campaigns (such as press releases and website information on winning projects), and to further the purposes of Executive Order 13285, such as fostering partnerships, coordination of projects, and promoting civic engagement.

(c)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

(e)estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
