Revision of the National Senior Service Corps' Project Progress

Report (A-1020)

AGENCY: Corporation for National and Community Service.

ACTION: Notice of 30-day OMB review of Project Progress Report.

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

SUMMARY: On June 4, the National Senior Service Corps (NSSC) announced

a 60-day review and comment period during which project sponsors and

the public were encouraged to submit comments suggesting revisions to

the NSSC Project Progress Report (PPR) used by project sponsors

(grantees) to report progress made toward work plan accomplishment,

problems encountered, resources generated and budget variances from the

grant awarded.

Comments were invited on (1) whether the existing PPR appropriately

meets project oversight and operational management, planning and

reporting needs of the Senior Corps programs; (2) ways to enhance the

quality, utility and clarity of the PPR; (3) accuracy of agency

estimates of reporting burden; and (4) ways to further reduce burden on

respondents.

NSSC is requesting extension of the authorization to use the PPR in

its current form with grants funded in 1997. However, revising and

phasing in of a new form in conjunction with planned implementation of

the impact programming initiative and redesign of the Project Grant

Application is anticipated for grants funded in 1998.

DATES: The National Senior Service Corps and the Office of Management

and Budget will consider written comments on the Project Progress

Report and record keeping requirements which are received within 30

days from the date of publication.
