Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request
The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)).

Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments concerning its National Performance Measurement Assessment through a proposed survey and follow up interview of AmeriCorps State and National grantees and State Commissions. The purpose of this data collection is for CNCS to understand the tools and processes grantees and commissions have used to select, implement and report program performance using pilot measures developed for programs receiving AmeriCorps grants in 2010 and 2011. CNCS will use the results of this assessment to inform the ongoing adoption of AmeriCorps grantee measures as well as new performance measurement efforts within other CNCS programs. Completion of this information collection is considered completely voluntary and is not required to be considered for or to obtain grant funding support from any CNCS program. Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the addresses section of this notice.

Cellular Service, Including Changes in Licensing of Unserved Area; Interim Restrictions and Procedures for Cellular Service Applications
In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) proposes to amend the rules governing the 800 MHz Cellular Radiotelephone Service (Cellular Service). In the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), the Commission proposes to transition the Cellular Service from a site-based licensing model to a geographic-based model by offering an ``overlay'' license for every Cellular Market Area (CMA) and corresponding channel block (Block A or Block B), in two stages, via auction.
