CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE

Revision of the National Senior Service Corps' Project Grant 
Application

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of 30-day OMB review of Project Grant Application.

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

SUMMARY: On July 1, the National Senior Service Corps (NSSC) announced 
a 60-day review and comment period, ending August 30, 1996, during 
which project sponsors and the public were encouraged to submit 
comments suggesting revisions to the NSSC Project Grant Application 
(424-NSSC). The Project Grant Application is submitted by prospective 
grantees to apply for or renew sponsorship of projects under the 
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), Foster Grandparent Program 
(FGP), and Senior Companion Program (SCP), collectively known as the 
National Senior Service Corps. Completion of the application is 
required to obtain or retain sponsorship.
    In the July 1 announcement, comments were invited on (1) Whether 
the existing Grant Application collects appropriate information to 
allow agency decision-makers to fully assess applicant capabilities and 
plans for quality sponsorship; (2) ways to enhance the utility and 
clarity of the Project Grant Application; (3) accuracy of agency 
estimates of reporting burden; and (4) ways to further reduce burden on 
respondents.
    NSSC is requesting extension of the authorization to use the 
Project Grant Application in its current form with grants funded in 
1997. However, revising and phasing in of a new form in conjunction 
with planned implementation of the impact programming initiative is 
anticipated for grants funded in 1998 and beyond.

DATES: The National Senior Service Corps and the Office of Management 
and Budget will consider written comments on the Project Grant 
Application and recordkeeping requirements which are received on or 
before October 9, 1996.
