Optional Form 301-S (OF 301-S): Solicitud de Servicio Voluntario (Spanish OF 301)

Optional Form 301-S (OF 301-S), Solicitud de Servicio Voluntario - Recursos Naturales y Culturales, is the Spanish-language version of the volunteer service application. GSA's page lists it as Volunteer Service Application - Natural and Cultural Resources (Spanish), and the form's footer reads OF301-S (Spanish OF 301) (REV. 10/2021). The footer names USDOI, USDA, USDOC and USDOD, and the header prints OMB control number 1093-0006 with an expiration date (Fecha de vencimiento) of 31/10/2024. GSA hosts a copy in its forms library.

The form, in Spanish, 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.
