Abstract: The NCCC Team Leader application, which is available electronically for all applicants, provides information CNCS uses to select Team Leaders for AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). CNCS seeks to renew the current information collection. The revisions are intended to allow us to ask more specific questions about the difficulites of serving in the NCCC program and if the applicant is ready for those challenges. The revisions will also allow applicants to provide explantations when they answer “No” or “Maybe” to one of the seventeen “Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe” questions we ask. The information collection will otherwise be used in the same manner as the existing application. CNCS also seeks to continue using the current application until the revised application is approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on 11/30/2020.

Dated: August 3, 2020.

Jacob Sgambati,

Acting Deputy Director, AmeriCorps NCCC.
