**SUMMARY :**  The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork andrespondent 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 Senior Corps Survey. Senior Corps will require all Senior Corps volunteers and recipients of Senior Companion and RSVP Independent Living services to complete the survey. Senior Corps will require all grantee organizations that participate in the survey to summarize survey results and submit those results to the Corporation.

**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.
