CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

45 CFR Parts 2531 and 2533

RIN 3045-AA40


Innovative and Demonstration Programs and National Service 
Fellowships

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(hereinafter the ``Corporation'') hereby amends its regulations that 
require the Corporation to announce in the Federal Register its grant 
application procedures, selection criteria, timing, and other 
requirements. The Grants.gov FIND module is now used by all Federal 
agencies to post electronically synopses of funding opportunities under 
Federal financial assistance programs that award discretionary grants 
and cooperative agreements. In addition, each agency must post the full 
announcement electronically. (See 68 FR 58146, October 8, 2003) The 
Corporation fulfills this requirement by posting its grant 
announcements on its Web site: http://www.cns.gov.whatshot/notices.html. These revisions will eliminate provisions in certain 
regulations that state that the Corporation will publish announcements 
in the Federal Register.
    Because the Corporation is required to post its funding 
opportunities on Grants.gov, and post its full funding announcement 
electronically on its Web-site (68 FR 58146), the Corporation considers 
these changes to be administrative in nature. Further, this rule does 
not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C. 804(3)(A) because it is 
a rule of ``particular applicability.'' Therefore, it is not subject to 
the congressional review requirements in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

DATES: These changes are effective as of February 10, 2004.
