SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) , as
part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the
general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C.

Community Service is soliciting comments concerning its proposed
National Senior Service Corps Accomplishment Surveys. Copies of the
information collection requests can be obtained by contacting the
office listed below in the address section of this notice.

interested in comments which:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Corporation, including whether the information will have practical
utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
Enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
