CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE


Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), 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, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its proposed 
renewal of the Social Innovation Fund Pay for Success Grant Competition 
Application Instructions. Funding for this competition was created as a 
result of the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Act. This competition 
responds to the need in the social sector for new ways of funding as 
traditional resources are declining and demands are increasing. It 
offers the opportunity to support innovation in the social sector while 
driving better results and conserving government resources. The 
affected public includes nonprofit organizations, funders and 
intermediary organizations.
