Service Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12501) is amended to read as follows:
‘‘SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
‘‘(1) Throughout the United States, there are pressing
unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety
needs.
‘‘(2) Americans desire to affirm common responsibilities
and shared values, and join together in positive experiences,
that transcend race, religion, gender, age, disability, region,
income, and education.
‘‘(3) The rising costs of postsecondary education are putting
higher education out of reach for an increasing number of
citizens.
‘‘(4) Americans of all ages can improve their communities
and become better citizens through service to the United States.
‘‘(5) Nonprofit organizations, local governments, States, and
the Federal Government are already supporting a wide variety
of national service programs that deliver needed services in
a cost-effective manner.
‘‘(6) Residents of low-income communities, especially youth
and young adults, can be empowered through their service,
and can help provide future community leadership.
‘‘(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this Act to—
‘‘(1) meet the unmet human, educational, environmental,
and public safety needs of the United States, without displacing
existing workers;
‘‘(2) renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the spirit
of community throughout the United States;
‘‘(3) expand educational opportunity by rewarding individ-
uals who participate in national service with an increased
ability to pursue higher education or job training;
‘‘(4) encourage citizens of the United States, regardless
of age, income, or disability, to engage in full-time or part-
time national service;
‘‘(5) reinvent government to eliminate duplication, support
locally established initiatives, require measurable goals for
performance, and offer flexibility in meeting those goals;
‘‘(6) expand and strengthen existing service programs with
demonstrated experience in providing structured service
opportunities with visible benefits to the participants and
community;
‘‘(7) build on the existing organizational service infrastruc-
ture of Federal, State, and local programs and agencies to
expand full-time and part-time service opportunities for all
citizens; and
‘‘(8) provide tangible benefits to the communities in which
national service is performed.’’.

A Federal agency that enters into a contract or cooperative
agreement under paragraph (1) shall, in an appropriate case,
enter into a contract or cooperative agreement with an entity

or cooperative agreement and is of high quality, in order to
support the national service program.

awards described in subtitle D for the participants who serve
in national service programs carried out using such assistance;
and

‘‘(A) the value of a national service educational award
under section 147; and
‘‘(B) the total number of approved national service
positions to be provided.
‘‘(d) FIVE PERCENT LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.—
‘‘(1) LIMITATION.—Not more than 5 percent of the amount

transfer of assistance under subsection (a) or (b) for a fiscal
year may be used to pay for administrative costs incurred
by—

‘‘(B) national service programs carried out or supported
with the assistance.

the manner and extent to which—

the Federal share of the cost of carrying out a national service

from the original recipient of the assistance, may not exceed
75 percent of such cost.
‘‘(2) CALCULATION.—In providing for the remaining share
of the cost of carrying out a national service program, the
program—

toward such share.
‘‘(4) WAIVER.—The Corporation may waive in whole or in
part the requirements of paragraph (1) with respect to a
national service program in any fiscal year if the Corporation
