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 proposed instrument will collect 

information from Senior Companion, 

Foster Grandparent, and RSVP 

volunteers as well as from Senior 

Companion clients and recipients of 

RSVP Independent Living services. The 

purpose of CNCS is to provide grantees 

with a unified performance measure 

data collection instrument that will 

facilitate both data collection and 

analysis. The goals of the survey are to 

measure the how the act of volunteering 

impacts Americans age 55 and older, 

and to measure how volunteers age 55 

improve the lives of the older 

Americans they serve. The information 

may be collected using an electronic 

spreadsheet, the eGrants system, or 

using a paper collection. 

The instrument uses items from the 

Health and Retirement Study (HRS), an 

ongoing study funded by the National 

Institute on Aging/NIH (NIA 

U01AG009740) and Social Security 

Administration.
