    Description: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
proposes to revise the current Project Progress Report (PPR) in order 
to reflect the revised National Senior Service Corps (NSSC) Grant 
Application. 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.
    In January 1998, NSSC announced a 60-day review and comment period, 
ending March 15, 1998, during which project sponsors and the public 
were encouraged to submit comments on the revised draft PPR form. 
Existing sponsors were provided copies of the draft concurrent with 
Federal Register publication.
    Approximately 15 written comments were received from over 1,245 
existing Senior Corps projects and the public. As many of the comments 
as feasible were incorporated into the revised PPR form. Key changes 
include clarifying instructions.
    Once approved by OMB, the revised PPR form will be completed by all 
public and private, non-profit organizations receiving National Senior 
Service Corps funds. The anticipated implementation schedule calls for 
the revised PPR form to be used with grants having a start date of July 
1, 1998 or thereafter. As the current PPR form expires in December 
1998, all NSSC grantees will utilize the revised PPR by no later than 
December 30, 1998. For further information please contact: Pat Kim 
(202) 606-5000, extension 245.

    Dated: May 27, 1998.
Kenneth L. Klothen,
General Counsel.
