General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps uses the Intelligence Background Questionnaire to determine what kind of intelligence connection an applicant or an applicant's relative might have and how close an applicant and a relative with an intelligence connection are. This form is a supplement to the Intelligence Background Questionnaire (OMB Control Number 0420-0551) which requires additional information to determine whether the intelligence connection is substantial enough to prevent the person from being employed at the Peace Corps or being a Volunteer for the Peace Corps permanently or for a set period of time from the last intelligence connection. If an applicant disagrees with the Peace Corps' determination, he or she may appeal the determination to the Director of the Peace Corps.

Request for Comment: Peace Corps invites comments on whether the proposed collection of information is 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 ( print page 97080) 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 December 3, 2024.

FOIA/Privacy Act Officer.
