Abstract

    The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) awards 
grants to states, institutions of higher education, non-profit 
organizations, Indian tribes, and U.S. Territories to operate 
AmeriCorps State, AmeriCorps National, AmeriCorps NCCC, AmeriCorps 
VISTA, Social Innovation Fund and Senior Corps programs. This 
information collection comprises the information that grantees provide 
as part of ongoing program monitoring and reporting. Grantees respond 
to the information requested to report on progress towards the 
requirements and goals of their Social Innovation Fund grants. The 
Social Innovation Fund will use the information collection to monitor 
ongoing progress of the grantees, inform portfolio management and 
technical assistance, and to inform stakeholders about the progress of 
the Social Innovation Fund portfolio. CNCS also seeks to continue using 
the currently approved information collection until the revised 
information collection is approved by OMB. The currently approved 
information collection is due to expire on March 31, 2018.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited 
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) 
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden
