CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
Revision of the National Senior Service Corps' Project Profile
and Volunteer Activity (PPVA) Information Collection Instruments
AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.
ACTION: Notice of 30-day OMB review of final revised PPVA information
collection instruments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In December 1995, the National Senior Service Corps (NSSC)
announced a 60-day review and comment period during which project
sponsors and the public were encouraged to submit comments on revised
draft PPVA information collection instruments used to annually collect
project and aggregate volunteer demographic and activity information
from project sponsors funded under the Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP), Foster Grandparent Program (FGP), and Senior Companion
Program (SCP).
Comments were invited on (1) whether the proposed instruments
collected information appropriate and sufficient to meet operational
management, planning and reporting needs of the Senior Corps programs;
(2) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information
to be collected; (3) accuracy of agency estimates of reporting burden;
and (4) ways to further reduce burden while meeting program needs.
Following that review and comment period, NSSC made final revisions
to respond to project concerns and is now submitting the instruments to
OMB for approval. Revisions made to address project concerns included
changing the reporting period, providing projects more time to submit
reports, delaying the submission date of the next report, incorporating
station-type revisions recommended by projects, and regrouping and
revising sponsor type categories. For RSVP, some service category/BHN
codes were revised to reflect the major service hours groupings. None
of the changes will impact on reporting burden.
DATES: The National Senior Service Corps and the Office of Management
and Budget will consider written comments on the proposed instruments
and recordkeeping requirements received on or before May 16, 1996.
