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. 
Sec. 3508(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data 
can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and 
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly 
understood, and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can 
be properly assessed. Currently, the Corporation for National and 
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.
    The Corporation for National and Community Service is particularly 
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.
