[[Page 24919]]

    <bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance 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> Propose ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and
    <bullet> Propose ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information to those who are to respond, including through 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.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
    Title: National Senior Service Corps GPRA Project Data Report.
    OMB Number: None.
    Agency Number: None.
    Affected Public: Sponsors of National Senior Service Corps grants.
    Total Respondents: Approximately 1,304.
    Frequency: Annual.
    Average Time Per Response: .75 hour.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 1,978 hours.
    Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.
    Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance): $496.00.
    Description: The Corporation is seeking approval for a new form for 
all grantees of the NSSC to report GPRA data annually as of a single 
date. The data to be reported on this form is currently reported by 
most grantees semi-annually on CNCS Form 1020, Project Progress Report 
(OMB Control Number 3045-0033). A small percentage are required to 
submit the PPR quarterly. Pending OMB approval, the GPRA reporting data 
will be deleted from the Project Progress Report as of July 31, 2000. 
The new NSSC GPRA Reporting Form, if approved, will be filed by all 
grantees by December 1 each year, containing data with a time period of 
Oct 1 through September 30.
    Having all grantees, regardless of their grant budget cycle, report 
annually as of September 30 will reduce the reporting burden for GPRA 
data for grantees who currently report this data semi-annually or 
quarterly. It will also enable the Corporation to submit current, 
consistent, and reliable aggregrate GPRA reporting data to Congress by 
the date established by law, February 28th of each year.

    Dated: April 24, 2000.
Thomas E. Endres,
Director, National Senior Service Corps, Corporation for National and 
Community Service.
