Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on December 6, 2006. This comment period ended February 5, 
2007. No comments were received. However, the Honor Roll's proposed new 
special focus area, college readiness services for underachieving 
disadvantaged youth, which was discussed in the earlier Notice, has 
received very positive support at several higher education community 
conferences over the last few months.
    Description: The President's Higher Education Community Service 
Honor Roll and Awards program supports the President's Call to Service, 
the First Lady's Helping America's Youth initiative, and the 
Corporation's strategic goals, especially the goal of significantly 
increasing community service by college students. The Application for 
the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll collects 
information from institutions of higher education about student 
community service activities, and--in this second year of the program--
will include a special focus on educational and other college readiness 
services to underachieving youth in disadvantaged circumstances. Data 
from this application provide the basis for a national honor roll and 
awards program designed to promote awareness of higher education 
community service efforts and to inspire expanded and more effective 
service efforts in the future. This year's deadline for institutions to 
submit applications is July 31, 2007, based on information for the year 
ending June 30, 2007. It is expected that a similar application/ 
information collection activity will be repeated annually, with a 
similar annual deadline.
