Corporation for National and Community Service February 2011 – 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 the proposed renewal and revision of its AmeriCorps VISTA Concept Paper and Application and Budget Instructions (OMB Control Number 3054-0038), which will expire on May 11, 2011 and the Project Progress Report (PPR) and VISTA Progress Report Supplement (VPRS) (OMB Control Number 3045- 0043), which will expire on September 30, 2011. This renewal with minor changes reflects the Corporation's intent to modify selected sections of the collection instrument to reduce burden on respondents and to reflect changes in data considered core reporting information to meet a variety of needs, including adding new data elements as needed to ensure the information collection captures appropriate data for the Corporation's required performance measurement and other reporting.
