Senior Corps

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(hereinafter the ``Corporation'') hereby amends its regulations for the 
Senior Corps. These amendments make technical corrections to the final 
rules issued on April 14, 2004, for the Foster Grandparent Program and 
on April 19, 2004, for the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. Two 
amendments herein provide technical corrections to the Foster 
Grandparent Program and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program 
regulations to ensure consistency concerning the allowability of 
volunteer expenses among the Foster Grandparent, Retired and Senior 
Volunteer, and Senior Companion Programs and bring them in line with 
the corresponding provision for the Senior Companion Program, as it was 
amended on April 19, 2004. The third amendment deletes one sentence in 
the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program regulations so as to ensure 
consistency throughout the entire section.

DATES: These changes are effective as of September 22, 2004.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Peter Boynton at (202) 606-5000,
