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. 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 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor 
Roll. The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll 
recognizes higher education institutions that reflect the values of 
exemplary community service and achieve meaningful outcomes in their 
communities. The Honor Roll is part of the Corporation for National and 
Community Service's strategic commitment to engage millions of college 
students in service and celebrate the critical role of higher education 
in strengthening communities. This information collection does not 
result in grant funding from the Corporation for National and Community 
Service or other federal agencies.
    Copies of the information collection request can be obtained by 
contacting the office listed in the Addresses section of this notice.
