Abstract: Collect information in order to recognize individuals and organizations for their volunteer service. The President's Volunteer Service Award was established in 2003 as a recognition program to honor Americans who have answered the President's call to service and have made a sustained commitment to giving back to their communities and country through volunteer service. The President's Volunteer Service Award program is partnership between CNCS, the USA Freedom Corps office at the White House, and the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation. In the past three years of the program, more than 500,000 Americans have received this honor. The PVSA application is completed by any organization interested in honoring their volunteers with the President's Volunteer Service Award.

Short Statement: Perviously approved burden hours were based on projected estimates when the collection was developed. Requested changes in burden are based on current and historical use of the information collection instrument since it was approved in January 2004. The change in the annual cost burden is to correct the error in the requested cost burden when the collection was first submitted to OMB in January 2004. The result is a decrease in requested burden hours and cost burden.
