Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: 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 Stakeholder Assessment of Senior Corps RSVP grantees. This 
information collection is a requirement of the Serve America Act. The 
information collection will be used by the community partners of 
current Senior Corps grantees for the national RSVP re-competition 
beginning in 2013. Completion of the Stakeholder Assessment is required 
in order for RSVP grantees to receive pre-competition training and 
technical assistance.

listed in the ADDRESSES section by March 15, 2010.

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the 
Corporation, including whether the information will have practical 
utility;
    <bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    <bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and

those who are expected to respond, including the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses).

Background

    The Serve America Act requires re-competition of RSVP grants 
beginning in 2013. In preparation for the re-competition, the 
legislation requires a stakeholder assessment. Each grantee will 
receive a custom report with feedback, based on the results of the 
assessments. The Stakeholder Assessment will be completed 
electronically using Zoomerang.

Current Action

    The information collection is intended to be completed by the 
Community Advisory Boards of current RSVP grantees. The individual 
questions have previously existed in grant applications, program 
handbooks and guidance, however, the format of the information 
collection is new.
    The information collection will be used to collect data to enhance 
technical assistance for current grantees. The Corporation will not use 
the results of this information collection for decisionmaking purposes 
regarding grant awards.
