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.
Description: The purpose of these
Challenge Grants is to assist nonprofit
organizations in securing previously
untapped sources of private funds to
build sustainable national and
community service programs.
Organizations receiving funds must
either greatly expand services by
engaging citizens in meeting community
needs or offer new services through
expanded citizen engagement.
Background: The Challenge Grant
Application is completed by applicant
organizations interested in supporting a
Challenge Grant program. The
application is completed electronically
by using the Grants.gov web based
system or the Corporation’s web-based
system, eGrants.
Current Action: The Corporation seeks
to renew and revise application
instructions for Challenge Grant
Application Instructions using the
eGrants system. When revised, the
application will include additional
instructions to clarify narrative and
work plan sections; will contain an
updated list of ‘‘Service Categories’’
used by applicants to identify the types
of needs the national service
participants will meet; and will contain
current references used in the grants
management system. The application
will otherwise be used in the same
manner as the existing application.
The Corporation also seeks approval
for new application instructions for
applicants to apply using the Grants.gov
online application system. The
Grants.gov system has been developed
for the Corporation in a way that will
meet the same requirements as our
eGrants system. The Grants.gov
application instructions ensure that
applicants are applying with the same
instructions and character limits that are
currently used on the Corporation’s
eGrants system.

Current Action
The Corporation is seeking approval
of the document entitled 2005
Application Instructions: Training and
Technical Assistance Cooperative
Agreements currently approved through
emergency clearance. The application
includes submission and compliance
requirements, application instructions,
selection criteria, and reporting
requirements for applications selected
for awards. The Application
Instructions also include several
appendices that require the following:
• SF424 Facesheet Instructions and
Facesheet
• Assurances and Certifications
• SF424A Budget Instructions
• Survey on Ensuring Equal
Opportunity
This emergency clearance for this
information collection will expire on 5/
31/05.
Type of Review: New; currently
approved through emergency clearance.
Agency:Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: 2005 Application Instructions:
Training and Technical Assistance
Cooperative Agreements.
OMB Number: 3045–0105.
Agency Number: None.
Affected Public: Current and
prospective T/TA providers.
Total Respondents: 75.
Frequency: Once in three years.
Average Time Per Response: Averages
80 hour for preparing an application.
We expect to select approximately 15
T/TA providers for cooperative
agreements. These 15 providers will
prepare budget and activity projections
at the beginning of the budget period
(usually one year) and report semiannually on actual activities and funds
expended. It is anticipated that they will
spend approximately 12 hours on the
budget/activity projection and 34 hours
each per semi-annual report, or 80 hours
each per year.
The level of burden for both the
application and the periodic budget
planning and reporting is attributable to
the extensive, national scope of the
services that will need to be described
in the application and the subsequent
planning and reporting documents. The
organizations selected for cooperative
agreements are expected to provide
materials and services that will serve
Corporation grantees and subgrantees
regardless of size (large non-profit
institution, small community
organization), type of program (Senior
Corps, AmeriCorps, state or national
parent organization, urban, rural, tribal),
geographic location (east coast, west
coast, U.S. territory, multi-site, multi-

ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section
(102)(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality Regulations (40
Code of Federal Regulations Parts 1500–
1517), the U.S. Department of the Navy
(Navy) has prepared a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to evaluate the potential environmental
consequences of utilizing Avon Park Air
Force Range (APAFR), Florida, as a
location for high-explosive (HE) and
inert/practice air-to-ground ordnance
training for East Coast carrier-based
strike/fighter aviation squadrons.
Squadrons would use APAFR in
combination with other available air-toground range assets to meet the
operational requirements of its Fleet
Readiness Training Program (FRTP).
FRTP air-to-ground training will
encompass operations associated with
Navy integrated and sustainment level
training exercises and combat
certification. The Draft EIS focuses on
air-to-ground training alternatives
within APAFR. These alternatives
encompass varying mixtures of
ordnance types among different impact
areas within APAFR.
