Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), and as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting the general public or other Federal agencies to comment on this proposed continuing information collection.

The Federal Trade Commission (``FTC'' or ``Commission'') is holding a public roundtable relating to its September 20, 2012 proposed changes to the Care Labeling Rule. The roundtable will explore issues relating to professional wetcleaning, care symbols, the Rule's reasonable basis requirements, and other issues raised in comments received in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (``NPRM''). The roundtable originally scheduled on October 1, 2013 was cancelled due to the government shutdown.

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), 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)). 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 collection requirement on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed renewal of the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) Project Sponsor Survey. The NCCC Project Sponsor Survey measures a sponsor's level of satisfaction upon completion of each NCCC project. The survey measures two outcomes of NCCC projects: Enhanced capacity of the sponsoring organization (sponsor) to meet community needs, and expanded or enhanced community impact due to sponsor-NCCC collaboration. Completion of this information collection is not required to be considered for or obtain support from AmeriCorps NCCC. Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
