Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 117 / Friday, June 18, 2010 / Notices
srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Comments
A 60-day public comment Notice,
regarding modification of the Project
Progress Report was published in the
Federal Register on March 12, 2010.
This comment period ended on May 12,
2010. A total of 10 responses were
received. The summary of comments
received is as follows:
(a) Eight comments supported the
suggested changes and noted that the
proposed revisions will make reporting
easier and more streamlined, and will
significantly reduce the reporting
burden. (b) Two comments encouraged
the Corporation to retain the current
Progress Report submission schedule of
semi-annually to help ensure that
Senior Corps grantees provide current
data at a higher frequency than annual.
The Corporation disagrees with the two
commenters. We believe that requiring
Progress Reports on an annual basis will
provide sufficiently accurate data, while
improving efficiency and alleviating the
burden on sponsors of Senior Corps
grants. Note, however, that we will
continue to collect a limited amount of
data from Foster Grandparent Program
and Senior Companion Program
sponsors on a semi-annual basis to track
volunteer production on a schedule
coinciding with the Federal Financial
Report (FFR).
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: 1,300.
Frequency: Annual
Average Time per Respondent: 4
hours annually.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 5,400
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
None.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): None
Description: The Corporation seeks to
renew and revise the current OMB
approved Progress Report. When
revised, the Progress Report will: (a)
Modify the reporting frequency by
Senior Corps grantees from semi-annual
to annual. The one exception to annual
reporting is the requirement that Foster
Grandparent Program and Senior
Companion Program grantees will report
on a total of 4 data elements at each 6month interval to ensure that the
Corporation can track and analyze
volunteer production rates. For all
Senior Corps grantees, submission of the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 220001
full Progress Report, including
narratives, work plan updates, and other
elements, will be annual.
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.
Dated: June 14, 2010.
Angela Roberts,
Acting Director, Senior Corps.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
[Docket No. DoD–2010–OS–0083]
Information Collection; Comment
Request
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Defense is
submitting to OMB for emergency
clearance, the following proposal for
collection of information under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). A shortened
comment period of twelve days is
necessary because the collection of
information related to the repeal of
‘‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’’ is needed prior
to the submission of recommendations
from the Department of Defense to the
White House. The initial report on the
impact of the repeal of the law on
spousal family readiness and perceived
unit stability and cohesion is needed by
mid-September 2010. As data collection
procedures needed to ensure high
response rates require a 2 month field
period, it is necessary to begin data
collection procedures no later than midJuly.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all
comments received by June 30, 2010.
Title and OMB Number: Survey for
Military Family Members, OMB Control
Number 0704–TBD.
Type of Request: New.
Number of Respondents: 150,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 50,000.
Average Burden per Response: 30
minutes.
Annual Burden Hours: 75,000 hours.
Needs and Uses: The Department of
Defense Comprehensive Review
Working Group (CRWG) is the working
group the Secretary of Defense directed
to examine the issues associated with a
repeal of the law known as ‘‘Don’t Ask,
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
Don’t Tell.’’ The CRWG is studying what
impact, if any, repeal would have on
military readiness, military
effectiveness, unit cohesion, recruiting,
retention, and family readiness. As part
of these efforts, the CRWG will also look
at how best to manage any impacts
during implementation. The survey is
an opportunity for the families of
service members to share their feelings
on the issue with the CRWG and the
military’s senior leadership. The survey
is a critical part of the CRWG’s efforts
as military families are an essential part
of the military community and their
reactions to the repeal of ‘‘Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell’’ could have significant
influence on the behavior of their
spouses and the impact of repeal on
recruiting, retention, and family
readiness.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: One-time.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet
Seehra.

recommendations on the proposed
information collection should be sent to
