Serve America Act Amendments to the National and Community Service Act of 1990 and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973
The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation) is correcting a proposed rule to implement changes to the operation of the National Service Trust and the Senior Corps programs under the Serve America Act, that appeared in the Federal Register of February 23, 2010 (75 FR 8013). That document incorrectly amended 45 CFR 2527.10(c) by removing current paragraph (c)(2). Additionally, there were two misstatements in the preamble. First, in an example to illustrate the limitation on the value of education awards an individual may receive, the preamble stated that a person who had previously earned the aggregate value of 1.71 awards could enroll in a quarter-time, minimum-time, reduced part-time, or Silver Scholar position. The inclusion of reduced part-time as an option in this example was in error. Second, the preamble incorrectly described the hardship waiver for Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent programs in the preamble. This document corrects the interim final rule by revising the preamble language providing an example of the aggregate value of education awards and the language describing the hardship waiver for Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent programs and by revising the instructions for 45 CFR 2527.10.

Delegations of Authority To Disclose Confidential Information
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'' or ``Commission'') is proposing to amend its regulations governing delegations of authority to disclose confidential information to permit CFTC staff to provide confidential information to ``registered entities,'' including exempt commercial markets offering significant price discovery contracts, and to require that registered entities update their lists of confidential data recipients on an annual basis. The Commission's proposal would also clarify that confidential information provided by the Commission to registered entities may only be used for market surveillance, audit, investigative or rule enforcement purposes and would remove the requirement that disclosures of confidential information to foreign government agencies and foreign futures authorities require the concurrence of the Commission's Division of Enforcement. Finally, the proposal would make certain other technical and conforming amendments to the Commission's rules.
