SUMMARY: The Corporation for National

(PPR).

Copies of the information collection

request can be obtained by contacting

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

• 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 to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Project Progress Report (PPR) was

designed to assure that National Service

Senior Corps (NSSC) grantees address

and fulfill legislated program purposes,

meet agency program management and

grant requirements, and assess progress

toward work plan objectives agreedupon in the granting of the award.

Information is used by agency project

managers to determine that projects are

achieving goals and objectives, identify

technical assistance needed to correct

deficiencies, manage budget variances

and resource issues arising in grants,

track trends requiring changes in

program policies and procedures, and

establish priorities for project

monitoring activities. Established NSSC

grantees submit PPRs twice annually to

their agency project manager. First-year

projects, new components,

demonstrations, and projects

experiencing problems or with

substantial project revisions report

quarterly, as identified in the Notice of

Grant Award agreed to and signed by

the sponsor/grantee.

II. Current Action

The Corporation for National and

Community Service seeks to revise the

current PPR in order to reflect or mirror

changes made in the revised National

Senior Service Corps Grant Application

which received OMB approval in midDecember 1997. All NSSC grantees with

a start date of July 1, 1998 will be

required to use the new Grant

Application. We anticipate making

available to all NSSC grantees, an OMB

approved revised PPR by July of 1998.

The revised PPR will be used by

NSSC grantees to report progress toward

accomplishing work plan goals and

objectives, achieving Government

Performance and Results Act (GPRA)

goals, meeting challenges encountered,

describing significant activities, and

requesting technical assistance.

Information gathered from PPRs will

allow agency project managers to

determine that projects are achieving

goals and objectives outlined in the

Grant Application, compile GPRA data,

assess and monitor programmatic

challenges and significant activities,

identify technical assistance needs, and

assure compliance with legislative

requirements, policies, procedures, and

grant conditions.
