Justification for Non-Substantive Change

Justification

Non-Substantive Change to an Existing Approved Information Collection

Evaluation of Public Health AmeriCorps

OMB Control Number 3045-0199

Expiration April 30, 2027

AmeriCorps is requesting this non-substantive change to bring two of its forms, which are part of the Evaluation of Public Health AmeriCorps, 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). Those forms are: (1) Member Alumni and Early Exit Survey; and (2) Member Alumni Survey.

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:

• Remove “transgender” and “nonbinary or another gender” from question 49 of its Member Alumni and Early Exit Survey, and delete prior versions of the form that are no longer in use; and

• Remove “transgender” and “nonbinary or another gender” from question 50 of its Member Alumni Survey.
