SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Collection of this information is necessary
to document service of volunteers as required by FPM Supplement 296-33,
Subchapter 3. Agencies are authorized to recruit, train, and accept,
with regard to civil service classification laws, rules or regulations,
the services of individuals to serve without compensation. Volunteers
may assist in any agency program/project, and may perform any
activities which agency employees are allowed to do. Volunteers must be
at least 14 years of age.
Persons interested in volunteering will have to write, call, e-
mail, or visit a Natural Resources Conservation Service Office. The

Description of Information Collection: The NRCS-PERS-002, Volunteer
Interest and Placement Summary, is an optional form that assists the
volunteer supervisor in placing the volunteer in a position that will
benefit both the agency and the volunteer. The form is placed in a
volunteer case file, and will be destroyed three years after the
volunteer has completed service. In the event that the volunteer is
injured, the case file will be transferred to the Official Personnel
Folder.
Signed in Washington, DC, on December 18, 2002.

Chief, Natural Resources Conservation Service.
