Agency: Corporation for National and

Title: Senior Corps ‘‘Join Senior 

Service Now’’ Senior Corps web-based 

recruitment system. 

OMB Number: 3045–0078. 

Agency Number: None. 

Affected Public: (1) Prospective 

volunteers age 55 and over and (2) 

organizations electing to post 

opportunities for volunteers age 55 and 

over on the system. 

Total Respondents: 452,526: 152,526 

registered users and 300,000 

unregistered users. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Average Time Per Respondent: 7 

minutes for individuals. 

25 minutes for organizations 

posting opportunities. 

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 

30,000. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

None. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintenance): $0. 

Description: The Corporation requests 

approval with no changes to its existing 

Web-based recruitment system known 

as ‘‘JASON.’’

Comments: A 60-day public comment 

Notice, regarding modification of the 

Senior Corps Web-based recruitment 

system was published in the Federal 

Register on June 28, 2005. A total of 28 

written responses were received. All of 

the written responses were submitted by 

Senior Corps project directors. Each 

written response contained numerous 

separate comments or statements. 

(a) Twenty comments were received 

about the overall effectiveness of 

recruiting volunteers ages 55 and over 

using the JASON system. Nine indicated 

that the system is not effective at all; 

with five also commenting that lowincome seniors are not computer 

literate, and six indicated that the 

JASON system is effective for recruiting 

current seniors as well as volunteers too 

young for the Senior Corps programs. 

The Corporation believes that these 

comments reflect the demographic shift 

underway in our society. In contrast to 

individuals age 65 and over, mid to late 

Baby Boomers and younger Americans 

are generally indistinguishable in their 

use of computers. The Corporation 

projects that the JASON system is an 

investment that will pay off in the near 

future, as more computer savvy 

individuals become eligible for Senior 

Corps. 

(b) Nine comments were received 

about the user-friendliness of the 

JASON system. Six indicated that the 

system is easy to use; and three 

indicated that using online forms can be 

confusing. The Corporation will more 

prominently post the ‘‘step-by-step’’

guides for users on the site. 

(c) Eight comments focused on the 

Federal cost of the system. Five 

comments indicated that the system is 

too expensive for the return on 

investment, and recommended that 

JASON be discontinued. Two stated that 

the cost should be lowered. One 

comment said that JASON is already 

cost effective. The Corporation agrees 

that the JASON cost going forward will 

be reduced to approximately 1⁄3 of the 

original cost per year. This reduction is 

due to the inapplicability of start-up 

costs going forward. 

(d) Three comments said that the time 

demands of JASON are too burdensome 

for the benefits received. The 

Corporation believes that the burden is 

appropriate. 

(e) A total of 11 general comments 

were received that were beyond the 

scope of this information collection. 

Comments included four instances 

where seniors who expressed interest in 

volunteering did not, in turn, answer 

the telephone calls or e-mails from 

project staff seeking more information. 

Two comments contained pleas to 

provide more Federal funds to grantees 

for local recruitment campaigns. Three 

were general comments about 

dependence on computers in general.
