Abstract: The AmeriCorps Seniors Grant Application is for use by
prospective and existing sponsors of AmeriCorps Seniors projects under
the AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (RSVP), AmeriCorps Seniors Foster
Grandparent Program (FGP), AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program
(SCP), and AmeriCorps Seniors Demonstration Project (SDP). The Project
Progress Report, Project Progress Report Lite, and Project Report
Supplement will be used to report progress toward accomplishing work
plan goals and objectives, reporting volunteer and service outputs,
reporting actual outcomes related to self-nominated performance
measures, meeting challenges encountered, describing significant
activities, and requesting technical assistance. The Application
Instructions and PPR, PPR-Lite, and PRS forms in this package conform
to eGrants. AmeriCorps' web-based electronic grants management system.
The SCP Independent Living Survey and SCP Respite Survey instruments
collect information from a sample of Senior Companion clients and
caregivers. The purpose of the surveys is to assess the feasibility of
conducting a longitudinal, quasi-experimental evaluation of the impact
of independent living and respite services on clients' social ties and
perceived social support. The results of the surveys may also be used
to inform the feasibility of using a similar instrument to measure
client and caregiver outcomes for an evaluation of RSVP. AmeriCorps
also seeks to continue using the currently approved information
collection until the revised information collection is approved by OMB.
The currently approved information collection is due to expire on 12/
31/21.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. All written comments will be available for
public inspection on <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a>.
