continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork

Background

    The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Grant application is 
completed by applicant organizations interested in supporting a Martin 
Luther King, Jr. Day of Service Program. The application is completed 
electronically via the Corporation's web-based system, eGrants.

Current Action

    CNCS seeks to renew the current information collection. Minor 
revisions are proposed, including new instructions for Year Two (2) and 
Year Three (3) Continuation Applications. The revised application 
instructions also now require selection of up to two CNCS National

    The information collection will otherwise be used in the same 
manner as the existing application. CNCS seeks to continue using the 
current application until the revised application is approved by OMB. 
The current application is due to expire on 10/31/2014.
