**Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request** 

**AGENCY :**  Corporation for National and Community Service.

**ACTION :**  Notice.

**SUMMARY :**  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 the collection requirement on respondents can be properly assessed.

Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning the proposed renewal of its Project Progress Report (OMB Control Number 3045–0038) which will expire on September 30,
2015.

This revision reflects CNCS’s intent to modify the application for inclusion of a new section to capture the new performance measures as approved by OMB which will capture appropriate data for CNCS’s required performance measurement reporting.

Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this Notice.

**DATES :**  Written comments must be submitted to the individual and office listed in the **ADDRESSES** section by April 28, 2014.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  CNCS is particularly interested in comments that: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of CNCS, including whether the information will have practical utility;
