Optional Form 301-M (OF 301-M): 志愿者服务申请--自然和文化资源 (Mandarin OF 301)

Optional Form 301-M (OF 301-M), 志愿者服务申请--自然和文化资源, is the Mandarin Chinese version of the volunteer service application. GSA's page lists it as Volunteer Service Application - Natural and Cultural Resources (Mandarin), and the form's footer reads OF301-M (Mandarin OF 301) (REV. 10/2021). The footer names USDOI, USDA, USDOC and USDOD, and the header prints OMB control number 1093-0006 with a date of 10/31/2024 (终止日期). GSA hosts a copy in its forms library.

The form, written in Chinese, says this optional application helps federal land and water management agencies identify interested and qualified candidates for available volunteer positions, and that applications are submitted and processed locally for each position. It has the same 24 numbered items as OF 301: contact details, interests, skills, languages, availability, location and lodging. It says a volunteer who commits to a specific activity completes an OF-301a volunteer service agreement.

The burden statement estimates an average of 15 minutes per response. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
