CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request
AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), as
part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the
general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be
provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood,
and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can be properly
assessed.
Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed
renewal of the Learn and Serve Progress Report. The Learn and Serve
grantees submit this progress report via eGrants. Copies of the
information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office
listed in the addresses section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the individual and office
listed in the ADDRESSES section by April 29, 2013.

information collection activity, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is particularly interested in comments
that:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of CNCS,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are expected to respond, including the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses).
Background: The Learn and Serve grantees submit this progress
report via eGrants. The Learn and Serve program staff will use the
information to monitor progress, and to respond to requests from
Congress and other stakeholders.
Current Action: CNCS seeks to renew the current information
collection. The information collected in the Grantee Progress Report
may be used by the Corporation's Office of Public Affairs to promote
service. Learn and Serve program staff will use the information to
monitor progress, and to respond to requests from Congress and other
stakeholders. Some information provided in the Progress Report may be
used by the Corporation's Office of Public Affairs to promote service.
Program staff also use the information to identify trends and issues
that may lead to changes in policies and procedures, allocation of
training and technical assistance, or opportunities for peer learning.
The information collection will otherwise be used in the same
manner as the existing application. CNCS also seeks to continue using
the current application until the revised application is approved by
OMB. The current application is due to expire on 7/31/2013.
