Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (the 
Corporation), as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and 
respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to 
provide the general public and federal agencies with an opportunity to 
comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)). This program helps to ensure that requested data can be 
provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial 
resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, 
and the impact of collection requirement on respondents can be properly 
assessed.
    Currently, the Corporation is soliciting comments concerning its 
proposed VISTA Training Evaluation Alumni & Project Supervisor Survey. 
Online surveys will be conducted with 500 VISTA alumni and 100 VISTA 
Project Supervisors in order to obtain their opinions regarding the 
effectiveness and efficiency of VISTA member training. This information 
will allow VISTA to improve the VISTA training curricula and structure 
in the future.

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
