Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted, identified by the title of the 
information collection activity, to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Attn: Ms. Sharon Mar, OMB Desk Officer for the

Officer for the Corporation for National and Community Service; and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OMB is particularly interested in 
comments which:

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the

utility;

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

Comments

    A 60-day public comment Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on December 14, 2010. This comment period ended February 14, 
2011. The following summarizes the public comments received from the 
Notice summary:
    (a) Two commenters supported the change and noted that an Executive 
Summary would add minimal burden to the application process. (b) Five 
commenters requested more details about the Executive Summary, asking 
what an Executive Summary is and

[[Page 13990]]

what information will be required in it. The Executive Summary will ask 
respondents to summarize the application's contents. The Corporation 
will provide more details about the Executive Summary at the 
appropriate time. (c) One commenter indicated that the Corporation 
underestimated the additional time burden added by the executive 
summary. The Corporation agrees and has adjusted the estimated time 
accordingly. (d) One commenter suggested that the Corporation eliminate 
another part of the application to account for the addition of an 
Executive Summary. The Corporation believes that the additional burden 
of an Executive Summary will be minimal, and that the addition will 
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the grant review process. 
Therefore, we do not intend to remove another portion of the 
application.
    Description: The Corporation seeks to renew the current application 
with one modification. The Corporation will ask applicants to include 
an Executive Summary to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the 
peer review process.
    The information collection will otherwise be used in the same 
manner as the existing application. The Corporation also seeks to 
continue using the current application until the revised application is 
approved by OMB. The current application is due to expire on May 31, 
2011.
    The Senior Corps Grant Application is completed by applicant 
organizations interested in sponsoring a Senior Corps project. The 
application is completed electronically using the Corporation's web-
based grants management system, eGrants.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
