    Comments may be submitted, identified by the title of the 
information collection activity, by any of the the following two 
methods within 30 days from the date of publication in this Federal 
Register:
    (1) By fax to: (202) 395-6974, Attention: Ms. Fumie Yokota, OMB 
Desk Officer for the Corporation for National and Community Service; 
and
    (2) Electronically by e-mail to: [email protected].
    The OMB 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 Corporation's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Propose ways to enhance the quality, utility and 
clarity of the information to be collected; and
     Propose ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 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.
    Description: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(the Corporation) awards federal grants to states, institutions of 
higher education, non-profit organizations, Indian tribes and U.S. 
territories to operate national service programs. The Corporation is 
obligated by statute to monitor grantee compliance with the appropriate 
Federal Statues, Regulations and OBM circulars. The information 
requested in this biannual report will be the primary means for 
collecting data on both grantee fiscal/programmatic compliance and 
progress towards meeting the performance measures specified in the 
grant awards. For statutory authority, please see the National and 
Community Service Act of 1990, as amended.
    Information provided in the Performance Reports will be used by 
Learn and Serve America to ensure grantees are making adequate progress 
towards meeting performance measures, and that activities are 
appropriate under the terms and conditions of the grant award. This 
information will also be used to help determine eligibility for second 
and third year Continuation Grants, which are available to Learn and 
Serve America grantees subject to funding availability and adequate 
progress towards meeting performance measures.
    This report will also track the grantees' sub-grants, allowing the 
Corporation the ability in the future to collect important performance 
data at the subgrantee level (a request to collect subgrantee 
information is forthcoming in a separate OMB Paperwork Reduction Act 
submission). Systematic review and a risk-based assessment of each 
Performance Report will be conducted by the appropriate Learn and Serve 
America Program officer within 30 days of receipt of the reports.
    Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments concerning Learn 
and Serve Aamerica Grantee Performance Report.
