Short Statement: This package for the Spirit of Service Awards replaces 3045-0091, -0092 and -0093. Perviously, the Spirit of Service form was clearaed three times under three separate packages and three OMB numbers - one for AmeriCorps, one for Learn and Serve, and one for Senior Corps. This collection streamlines the forms into one informantion collection package since the same form is used in all programs. There is no change in burden acorss all three forms (each form had 200 respondents and 600 hours, for a total of 600 respondents and 1,800 hours across the three forms). When this form is cleared, the other forms will be discontinued.
