AGENCY: Corporation for National and

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 preclearance 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 national survey of K–12 

schools on policies and supports for 

community service and service-learning. 

The survey will be used in a study of 

the prevalence of community service 

and service-learning in the nation’s K–

12 public schools. 

Copies of the information collection 

requests can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the addresses section 

of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corporation is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 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 Corporation is a federal 

government agency that encourages 

Americans of all ages and backgrounds 

to engage in community-based service to 

meet the nation’s educational, public 

safety, environmental, homeland 

security, and other human needs. 

Through its program, Learn and Serve 

America, the Corporation provides 

resources to K–12 schools, higher 

education institutions, and communitybased organizations for the promotion 

and sustainability of service-learning 

activities. Since Learn and Serve 

America was established in 1990, it has 

been the catalyst for a wide expansion 

of community service and servicelearning in America’s schools, colleges 

and youth service organizations. In 

1984, approximately nine percent of 

schools in the United States offered 

service-learning opportunities. By 1999, 

about one-third of all K–12 public 

schools in the United States offered 

service-learning for their students. A 

new study of the prevalence of servicelearning in K–12 schools will allow 

Learn and Serve America to continue to 

assess the extent to which its efforts and 

those of other organizations that 

promote service-learning have led to the 

growth of service-learning. Information 

collected through this survey will be 

used by the Corporation to track 

progress on key Strategic Plan and Learn 

and Serve performance measures.
