Corporation for National and Community Service March 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), 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, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning the proposed revision of its VISTA Concept Paper, Application, and Budget Instructions (OMB Control Number 3045-0048) which will expire on September 30, 2015. This revision reflects CNCS's intent to modify the application for inclusion of a new section to collect performance measure data required by the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act and recently approved by the Office of Management and Budget.
