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 Social
Innovation Fund (SIF) Application Instructions. The application
instructions will be used by organizations requesting funding for a SIF
project.
Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by
contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this notice.

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
