    Comments should be sent to the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Attn: Mr. Danny Werfel, OMB Desk Officer for the Corporation 
for National and Community Service, Office of Management and Budget, 
Room 10235, Washington, D.C., 20503, [phone], within 30 days 
from the date of this publication in the Federal Register.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Corporation, 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; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through 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.
    Type of Review: New.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
    Title: Evaluation of Literacy and Tutoring Programs.
    OMB Number: None.
    Agency Number: None.
    Affected Public: Project Directors.
    Total Respondents: Approximately 1,125.
    Frequency: One time.
    Average Time Per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 563 hours.
    Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.
    Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance): None.
    Description: The Corporation seeks approval of a survey form for 
the evaluation of the Corporation's literacy and tutoring programs that 
it supports through grants. It will allow for the description of 
delivery systems and program models including the specific literacy and 
monitoring activities. It will also help identify effective programs. 
There were no comments received during the initial 60-day public 
comment period. The change in the number of respondents and burden 
hours is a result of a change in sampling for several of the programs. 
Instead of small purposive samples for several of the programs, when 
feasible the agency is selecting larger representative samples in order 
to allow for generalizations to the larger universe of agency programs, 
thus increasing the utility of the data.

    Dated: December 23, 1998.
Thomas L. Bryant,
Acting General Counsel.
