The Serve America Act reauthorizes and expands national service programs administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service by amending the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA) and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA).
On February 23, 2010, the Corporation for National and Community Service issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to implement changes to the operation of the National Service Trust under the Serve America Act. This proposed rule also provides flexibility for hardship exceptions to the 80 percent cost reimbursement requirement for Senior Companion and Foster Grandparent programs.
Commenting on the Proposed Rule
You may mail or deliver your comments to Amy Borgstrom, Docket Manager, Corporation for National and Community Service, 1201 New York Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20525. You may also send your comments to Rulemaking@cns.gov or submit comments through the Federal government’s one-stop rulemaking Web site www.regulations.gov specifically by clicking here.
To ensure that your comments have maximum value, we urge you to identify clearly the specific section or sections of the interim final regulations that each comment addresses and to arrange your comments in the same order as the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. During and after the comment period, you may inspect all public comments about these interim final regulations at www.regulations.gov or by contacting Amy Borgstrom (contact information is in the previous paragraph).
