The Corporation for National and Community Service supports service and volunteering, including providing opportunities for organizations to provide information on their service projects for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, Make a Difference Day, National Volunteer Week, AmeriCorps week and other service opportunities throughout the year. The increase in burden hours reflects an expected increase in the number of organizations providing information about their service projects and the increased time for each respondent to complete the form based on the additional questions. The increase in burden hours also reflects the new capability for volunteers to provide their information.
