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 Challenge Grant Application Instructions using the Corporation's Electronic Application System, eGrants. The Corporation is also soliciting comments concerning a new approval of the Challenge Grant Application Instructions using the Government-wide application system, Grants.gov. The use of the Grant.gov system will be dependent upon the development of the system to meet the Corporation's individualized needs. One set of application instructions is necessary for current and prospective grantees to apply for a Challenge Grant. The decision on how to apply, via eGrants or Grants.gov, will be up to the individual applicant. Completion of the Challenge Grant Application Instructions is required to be considered for funding. Copies of the information collection requests can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the address section of this notice.
