SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), as
part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent

proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C.
3508(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 the collection requirement on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Corporation for National and
Community Service is soliciting comments concerning proposed revisions
to the National Senior Service Corps Project Grant Application. Copies
of the draft application can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the address section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section on or before May 30, 1997.
The Corporation for National and Community Service 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 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
[[Page 15160]]
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.
