Information Collection; Submission for OMB Review; Comment 
Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The Corporation for National and Community Service (hereinafter the 
``Corporation'') has submitted the following public information 
collection request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Copies of these 
individual ICRs, with applicable supporting documentation, may be 
obtained by calling the Corporation for National and Community Service, 
Office of Evaluation, Wade Gatling, [phone], extension 451. 
Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TTY-TDD) 
may call [phone] between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, 
Monday through Friday.
    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, DC 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;
     Propose ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and
     Propose ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information to 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: Existing collection in use without an OMB control 
number.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
    Title: Program Development Assistance and Training (PDAT) Budget 
Form.
    OMB Number: None.
    Agency Number: None.
    Affected Public: Sixty-eight entities (49 state commissions, 15 
tribes and 4 territories).
    Frequency: Annually.
    Total Respondents: Sixty-eight respondents.
    Average Time Per Response: Two Minutes.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2.25 hours.
    Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.
    Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance): None.
    Description: In the past, Program Development Assistance and 
Training (PDAT) Budget Information was requested informally without the 
form being proposed in this notice. As a result, the PDAT financial 
information submitted to the Corporation by applicants did not 
consistently provide the information that was requested. The 
Corporation anticipates that the use of the one-page budget form being 
proposed here will result in the submission of more complete PDAT-
related financial information by the applicants.
    Each year the Corporation seeks to collect PDAT budget information 
from the 49 state commissions, 15 tribes, and four territories. The 
information that will be collected on the proposed one-page PDAT budget 
form will be used during the Corporation's annual review of PDAT 
applications. The proposed PDAT budget form will be useful to the 
Corporation in the PDAT application review process that leads to the 
allocation of PDAT funds to the 49 state commissions, 15 tribes, and 
four territories.
    The Federal Register Notice dated May 1, 1998, incorrectly listed 
the Total Respondents as 48 rather than 68. Further, the Notice 
indicated that the average time per response as two hours rather than 
two minutes. These two errors have been corrected in this Notice.

    Dated: August 27, 1999.
Thomas L. Bryant,
Associate General Counsel.
