## Effects PRIA read

- PVSA renewal keeps current form: benefit, low. AmeriCorps is asking to renew the President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) information collection under OMB Control Number 3045-0086 and is seeking renewal without revisions. The agency says the application will be used in the same manner as the existing form and the currently approved collection…
- Large number of annual PVSA submissions: cost, low. AmeriCorps estimates the PVSA application process will generate about 200,000 annual responses and a total of 66,666 annual burden hours across respondents. The agency lists respondents as businesses and organizations, State/local/Tribal governments, and individuals.
- Per-application time: about 20 minutes: cost, low. A commenter stated that the PVSA application includes a 20-minute requirement and that 20 minutes represents the minimum administrative input needed to collect verifiable volunteer hours. AmeriCorps referenced that comment in its renewal materials.
- Agency to review online tool options: benefit, low. AmeriCorps says it is continuing to review how online tools could be used to modernize the PVSA application and improve the experience for participating organizations. The agency also noted it will consider suggested renovations and any implications for the information collection.
