    Abstract: The Progress Report (PPR) was designed to ensure that

and measure progress to benefit the local project and its contributions 
to senior volunteers and the community; and to report progress toward 
work plan objectives agreed upon in the granting of the award. The 
resulting data is used by grantees and CNCS to track performance and 
inform continued grant funding support, as well as to identify trends 
and to support management and analysis. CNCS seeks to renew and revise 
the current OMB approved PPR to align with recent national performance 
measures changes and to remove administrative burdens.
    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 December 31, 2019.
