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 (PRA) (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, and the impact of the requirement on 
respondents can be properly assessed.
    Currently, CNCS is soliciting comments concerning its recordkeeping 
requirement in 45 CFR 2540.205 and 2540.206. CNCS grantees and 
subgrantees must maintain records to document completion of required 
National Service Criminal History Checks. This is not a notice of 
proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted to the individual and office 
listed in the ADDRESSES section by December 22, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by the title of the 
information collection activity, by any of the following methods:
    (1) By mail sent to: Corporation for National and Community 
Service, Aaron Olszewski, Office of General Counsel; 1201 New York 
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20525.

    (2) By hand delivery or by courier to the CNCS mailroom at Room

holidays.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron Olszewski, 202-606-6670, or by 
email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is not a notice of proposed rulemaking. 
CNCS is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the efficient performance of the functions of CNCS, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity 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

    Section 189D of the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as 
amended, requires CNCS grantees and subgrantees to conduct a National 
Service Criminal History Check on individuals in covered positions. 
Documenting compliance with the requirement is critical to that 
responsibility.

Current Action

    CNCS requests renewal of the previous approval.
    The requirements will be used in the same manner as the existing 
application. CNCS also seeks to continue using the current application 
until the revised application is approved by OMB. The current 
application is due to expire on February 29, 2016.
    Type of Review: Renewal of Approved Recordkeeping Requirement.
    Agency: Corporation for National and Community Service.
    Title: National Service Criminal History Check Recordkeeping 
Requirement.
    OMB Number: 3045-0145.
    Agency Number: None.
    Affected Public: CNCS Grantees and Subgrantees.
    Total Respondents: 112,357.

    Average Time per Response: Five minutes.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 28,089 hours.
    Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): None.
    Total Burden Cost (operating/maintenance): None.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget 
approval; they will also become a matter of public record.

    Dated: October 20, 2015.
