Technical Assistance Handbook

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of availability of draft technical assistance handbook.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service announces 
the availability of a first draft of a technical assistance handbook, 
``Principles for High Quality National Service Programs, January 1994 
(Proposed).'' The Corporation invites comments and suggestions on the 
draft handbook from interested members of the public.
    The draft handbook is the product of an ongoing collaboration 
between the Corporation and members of the national service community. 
It contains examples, suggestions, and principles to assist potential 
Corporation grantees in developing high quality national service 
programs. As part of the Corporation's technical assistance for 
applicants, the draft handbook will be included in the application 
packages for all national service programs. In addition, it may be 
provided as background reading to the Corporation's grant application 
reviewers. However, the principles in the draft handbook are not the 
criteria by which reviewers will assess grant applications. 
Applications will be assessed based on the requirements and criteria in 
the application and the Corporation's regulations.

DATES: In order to ensure consideration of comments prior to 
distribution of the handbook in final application packages for grants 
for fiscal year 1994, comments on the draft handbook must be received 
by February 18, 1994. Comments received after February 18, 1994 will be 
considered for incorporation into future drafts of the handbook.

ADDRESSES: Comments on the draft handbook should be mailed to the 
Corporation for National and Community Service, room 12101-P-TA, 1100 
Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20525.
