Senior Corps adopted new, required
performance measures for its programs beginning in Fiscal Year
2013. Under a separate information collection approval, two
Independent Living Performance Measures Surveys were cleared for
use by grantees of the Senior Companion Program (required) and the
RSVP Program (optional). All Senior Companion Program grantees are
required to use the previously cleared surveys to solicit outcome
data from clients and caregivers served by Senior Companion
volunteers. The Independent Living Performance Measures Aggregation
Tool will serve as the required template for grantees to use to
provide two levels of information: (1) A row on the spreadsheet
template corresponding to each individual client, without any
personal information that could identify the individual; and (2)
aggregate project level performance measures data for submission to
CNCS.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
