SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is particularly interested in comments 
that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of CNCS, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are expected to respond, including the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology (e.g., permitting 
electronic submissions of responses).

Background

    The External Reviewer Application is used by individuals who wish 
to serve as External Reviewers or External Panel Coordinators for CNCS 
when external reviewers are needed to review grant applications. The 
information collected will be used by CNCS to select review 
participants for each grant competition. The information is collected 
electronically using ``Grants and Member Management'' (GMM), CNCS's 
web-based system.

Current Action

    CNCS seeks to renew the current information collection. The 
application and instructions have been updated in order to capture the 
required information in a more streamlined fashion within the GMM 
system. The information collection will otherwise be used in the same 
manner as the existing application. CNCS also seeks to continue using 
the current application until the revised application is approved by 
OMB. The current application is due to expire on September 30, 2016.
