SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service

with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing

utility;
    Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 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 expected 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).

Background

    The Progress Report (PPR) was designed to assure that grantees of 
the Senior Corps' programs (RSVP, Foster Grandparent and Senior 
Companion Programs) address and fulfill legislated program purposes; 
meet agency program management and grant requirements; track and 
measure progress to benefit the local project and its contributions to 
senior volunteers and the community; and to report progress toward work 
plan objectives agreed upon in the granting of the award.

Current Action

    The Corporation seeks to renew and revise the current OMB approved 
Progress Report. When revised, the Progress Report will change the 
submission frequency of narrative and work plan sections from semi-
annual to annual. The revised PPR will be used in the same manner as 
the existing PPR to report progress toward accomplishing work plan 
goals and objectives, reporting volunteer and service outputs; 
reporting actual outcomes related to self-nominated performance 
measures meeting challenges encountered, describing significant 
activities, and requesting technical assistance.
