                Comments
                 A 60-day Notice requesting public comment was published in the
                Federal Register on July 18, 2019 at Vol. 84, No. 138. This comment
                period ended September 16, 2019. No public comments were received from
                this Notice.
                 Title of Collection: Senior Corps Project Progress Report (PPR).
                 OMB Control Number: 3045-0033.
                 Type of Review: Renewal.
                 Respondents/Affected Public: Sponsors of Senior Corps Grants.
                 Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1,100.
                 Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 17,600 (Work Plans
                and narratives, semi-annual: Four hours per response. Progress Report
                Supplemental, annual: eight hours per response.).
                 Abstract: The Progress Report (PPR) was designed to ensure that
                Senior Corps' programs (RSVP, Foster Grandparent, and Senior Companion
                Programs) address and fulfill legislated program purposes; meet agency
                program management and grant requirements; track and measure progress
                to benefit the local project and its contributions to senior volunteers
                and the community; and report progress toward work plan objectives
                agreed upon in the granting of the award. The resulting data is used by
                grantees and CNCS to track performance and inform continued grant
                funding support, as well as to identify trends and to support
                management and analysis. CNCS seeks to renew and revise current OMB
                approved PPR to align with recent national performance measures changes
                and to remove administrative burdens. CNCS also seeks to continue using
                the current tool until the revised application is approved by OMB. The
                current tool is due to expire on December 31, 2019.
                 Dated: October 1, 2019.
                Deborah Cox-Roush,
                Director, Senior Corps.
