General Description of Collection: Peace Corps Campus Ambassadors are university students who work closely with Peace Corps recruiters to raise the Peace Corps' profile on campus and introduce the Peace Corps to new and diverse student groups. The program, managed by the Peace Corps' Office of University Programs, is made in formal partnership with educational institutions across the United States. The Office of University Programs requires each Campus Ambassador to complete an annual survey to ensure they are meeting the requirements agreed upon in their application. Collection of this information allows the Peace Corps Office of University Programs to ensure the Campus Ambassadors are meeting the requirements of the program to assist recruiters. Although this collection is called an “Exit Survey” no statistical methods are employed.

Request for Comment: The Peace Corps invites comments on whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for proper performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

This notice is issued in Washington, DC, on November 22, 2023.
