Program

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (the 
Corporation) is considering establishing a summer service program 
targeted at children's health. The Corporation seeks input from 
community-based organizations and other agencies or persons 
knowledgeable in the area of children's health. The Corporation seeks 
information and input regarding the most effective means to address the 
health needs of children through national service.

DATES: The Corporation seeks the participation of the public in this 
process until March 20, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Responses to this notice should be sent to Cecilia Calvo at 
the Corporation for National Service. Address: 1201 New York Avenue NW, 
Room 8403-D, Washington, D.C. 20525. Fax: [phone].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The Corporation for National Service,

information contained in this notice will be made available in 
alternative formats, upon request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corporation is a government corporation 
that engages Americans of all ages and backgrounds in community-based 
service. This service addresses the nation's education, public safety, 
human, and environmental needs to achieve direct and demonstrable 
results. In doing so, the Corporation fosters civic responsibility, 
strengthens the ties that bind us together as a people, and provides 
educational opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment to 
service.
    Pursuant to the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as 
amended, 42 U.S.C. 12501 et seq., the Corporation may make grants to 
States, subdivisions of States, Indian tribes, U.S. territories, public 
or private nonprofit organizations, Federal agencies and institutions 
of higher education to carry out national service programs.
    Early childhood development is among the Corporation's priorities 
for fiscal year 1995. The Corporation is considering the establishment 
of a limited summer program targeted at children's health. This 
program, if established, will be implemented by programs that are 
already funded by the Corporation and by organizations in partnership 
with programs already funded by the Corporation.
    The Corporation seeks specific information on the following issues: 
(1) Which children's health needs can most appropriately and 
expeditiously be addressed through the Corporation's national service 
programs; (2) whether existing organizations have sufficient capacity 
and expertise to implement an effective children's health program; (3) 
ways in which existing organizations or [[Page 13412]] persons have 
successfully implemented programs addressing children's health needs; 
of particular interest to the Corporation are strategies on planning, 
development, implementation, and evaluation of children's health 
programs that can be created and completed in a short period of time.

    Dated: March 8, 1995.
Terry Russell,
General Counsel.
