Agencies and Commissions December 7, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Corporation for National and Community Service (hereinafter the ``Corporation''), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments concerning its proposed renewal of its Senior Corps Grant Application (424-NSSC) reference OMB Control Number 3045-0035, with an expiration date of April 30, 2008. The Corporation proposes to renew the Senior Corps Grant Application without significant changes. The modifications proposed by the Corporation for this renewal are limited to language changes to the application instructions: Remove the term ``non-impact'' work plan and replace with ``work plan'' to clarify and simplify for applicants; Update the ``Required Documents'' list to specify that applicants send the 990 Financial Form in the event that the organization does not meet the threshold for an A-133 audit. Copies of the information collection can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the address section of this notice.
