• 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;
• Enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting

Comments
A 60-day public comment Notice,
regarding modification of the Project
Progress Report was published in the
Federal Register on January 17, 2007.
This comment period ended on March
19, 2007. A total of 10 responses were
received, some of which contained
multiple comments, representing a total
of 31 individuals. The summary of
comments received is as follows:
In Summary:
(a) Six comments supported the
suggested changes and noted that the
proposed revisions will make reporting
easier and more streamlined.
(b) One comment suggested that the
semi-annual ‘‘Data Demographic’’
section be retained, and that the
proposed annual Data Supplemental
Sheet (known as the Project Profile and
Volunteer Activity) be eliminated. The
Corporation believes that its proposal
will result in more streamlined
reporting and greater data accuracy,
since all projects would report activities
and outputs within the same time
period. This is currently not the case,
due to the fact that grantees submit
Project Progress Reports according to
their own grant cycle.
(c) Four comments were beyond the
scope of this information collection.
They included one observation that
overall burden has increased at the local
level due to the greater emphasis on
outcome-based programming. The
emphasis on quantifiable outputs and
outcomes transcends the Corporation
and applies to all federal agencies under
the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA) and as such, the
Corporation lacks discretion to
implement changes resulting in lack of
outcome performance. Another
comment requested that deadline for
report submission be increased from the
current 30 days after the close of the 6month period to 45 days after the close
of the 6-month period. The due dates of
reports after the close of the reporting
period is determined by Corporation

policy that applies to all of the agency’s
programs. The standard is currently 30
days. The Senior Corps will share this
request for a 45-day due date with the
agency-wide Compliance Working
Group for consideration.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Agency: Corporation for National and
Community Service.
Title: National Senior Service Corps
(Senior Corps) Project Progress Report.
OMB Number: 3045–0033.
Agency Number: CNCS Form 1020.
Affected Public: Sponsors of Senior
Corps grants.
Total Respondents: 1,350.
Frequency: Semi-annual.
Average Time Per Respondent: 8
hours annually based on reporting semiannually without Data Demographics
and reporting Data Supplement
annually.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
10,800.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $2,000.
Description: The Corporation seeks to
renew and revise the current OMB
approved Progress Report. When
revised, the Progress Report will: (a)
Eliminate all quarterly submissions of
the PPR; (b) change the submission
frequency of narrative and work plan
sections to 100 percent semi-annual
and; (c) eliminate the ‘‘Data
Demographic’’ section of the PPR; and
(d) change the submission frequency of
the ‘‘Data Supplemental’’ section from
biennial to annual. The revised PPR will
be used in the same manner as the
existing PPR to report progress toward
accomplishing work plan goals and
objectives, reporting volunteer and
service outputs; reporting actual
outcomes related to self-nominated
performance measures meeting
challenges encountered, describing
significant activities, and requesting
technical assistance. These proposed
modifications will continue to ensure
that the information collection captures
appropriate data for the Corporation’s
required performance measurement and
other reporting.
The Project Progress Report (PPR) was
designed to assure that Senior Corps
grantees address and fulfill legislated
program purposes, meet agency program
management and grant requirements,
and assess progress toward work plan
objectives agreed upon in the granting of
the award.
