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.

renewal of Day of Service project promotion tool. Individuals
organizing a volunteer event will be able to register their projects.

organizations, and individuals. The Corporation wants to help promote
activities across the country and also to be able to assess impact of
