ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

requirement on respondents can be 

properly assessed.

to a sample of current RSVP volunteers 

to assess the distribution of volunteers 

across work plans, volunteer time, 

volunteer demographic information and 

level of psycho-social health and 

functioning. The survey is designed to 

allow CNCS to compare the results to a 

comparison group that is a 

representative sample of Americans age 

50 and older. 

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

functions of CNCS, 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,
