Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Peace Corps Awareness and Affinity: National Survey of U.S. Adults.

OMB Control Number: 0420-0575.

Form Number: PC-2210.

Type of Request: Renewal with Change.

Affected Public: Individuals.

Respondents Obligation To Reply: Voluntary.

Respondents: Members of the public and prospective Peace Corps Volunteer applicants.

Burden to the Public:

(a) Estimated number of respondents: 6,200.

(b) Frequency of response: Twice.

(c) Estimated average burden per response:.188 hours.

(d) Estimated total reporting burden: 2333.32 hours.

(e) Estimated annual cost to respondents: 0.00.

General Description of Collection: The Peace Corps will renew its national awareness and recruitment campaign to promote the organization; its mission, goals, and values; and to attract and recruit qualified Volunteer applicants. The Peace Corps' Office of Communications will use the information collected by the Peace Corps Awareness and Affinity: National Survey of U.S. Adults to assess the effectiveness of the campaign. The Peace Corps conducted this survey in 2023, which proved beneficial in measuring general awareness and affinity for the Peace Corps; drivers, barriers, and motivations related to the application process; and perceptions of our audiences following the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to when the survey was conducted in 2023, the Peace Corps will collect information to help broaden the pool of potential Volunteers and engage new audiences—this time to help meet the agency's goal of sending 8,000 qualified Volunteers overseas by 2030. The information collection will also be used to gather insights to identify key audience segments and help ensure the efficiency and success of future marketing efforts by:

  • Identifying levels of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and opinions about the Peace Corps among the general U.S. public and targeted audience segments;
  • Collecting insights to inform communications, education, and outreach strategies by understanding which themes resonate most with different audience segments; and,
  • Determining the best channels for communication. The Office of Communications will conduct this survey twice for optimal monitoring and evaluation.

Request for Comment: The Peace Corps invites comments on whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for proper performance of the functions of the Peace Corps, including whether the information will have practical use; the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the information to be collected; and, ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

This notice is issued in Washington, DC on January 12, 2026.

James Olin,

FOIA/Privacy Act Officer.
