Justification
Non-Substantive Change to an Existing Approved Information Collection
External Reviewer Application Instructions
OMB Control Number 3045-0090
Expiration May 31, 2026
AmeriCorps is requesting this non-substantive change to bring its form, External Reviewer Application, into compliance with Executive Order (EO) 14168 of January 20, 2025, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, 90 Fed. Reg. 8615 (January 30, 2025).
Section 2(e) of EO 14168 on Defending Women requires:
Agencies shall remove all statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications, or other internal and external messages that promote or otherwise inculcate gender ideology, and shall cease issuing such statements, policies, regulations, forms, communications or other messages. Agency forms that require an individual’s sex shall list male or female, and shall not request gender identity. Agencies shall take all necessary steps, as permitted by law, to end the Federal funding of gender ideology.
AmeriCorps is therefore requesting this non-substantive change to the External Reviewer Application to replace the term “gender” with “sex,” list only “male” and “female” as the options.
