Notice of Proposed Requirement To
Establish Government-wide Standard
Data Elements for Use by All Federal
Grant Making Agencies—SF–424 Short
Organizational and Supplemental Data
Sets and Forms
Grants.gov Program
Management Office.
In compliance with the requirement
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
the Grants.gov Program Management
Office, one of the 26 E-Government
initiatives, managed by the Department
of Health and Human Services is
publishing the following summary of
proposed collection for public
comment. Interested individuals are
invited to send comments regarding any
aspect of this collection of information.
Type of Information Collection
Request: Emergency.
Title of Information Collection
Request: SF–424 Short Organizational
(Short) and SF–424.
Supplemental forms: Key Contacts
and Project Abstract.
Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–New.
Background: The discretionary SF–
424, Application for Federal Assistance
was established as the government-wide
standard core data set and form for
discretionary grant applications in July
31, 2003 [Federal Register Notice 68 FR
44974]. The SF–424 consolidates grant
application related data and forms used
by Federal grant-making agencies and
organizations for their discretionary
grant programs and replaces numerous
agency-specific forms. The effect has
been to reduce the administrative
burden to the Federal grants
community.
During the identification of the core
SF–424 data set, it was determined, that
in some instances, there were sufficient
commonalities of data requirements
across agencies to warrant a separate
government-wide SF–424 data set and
form. Four ‘‘market segment’’ SF–424
data sets and forms, in addition to the
standard core data set, were
subsequently identified; each tailored
for a specific segment of the applicant
AGENCY:

Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
15089
community; and each developed for the
purpose of reducing the administrative
burden on the applicant community.
The market segment SF–424 data sets
and forms provide agencies with an
alternative to the SF–424 core data set
and form.
The research and related market
segment SF–424 (SF–424 R&R) data set
and form was deployed in November
2004 for use the by grant-making
agencies with a research mission or that
conduct research-related activities. The
SF–424 Mandatory data set and form
(SF–424 M) was deployed in February
2005 for use by the agencies with
mandatory grant programs, including
Formula and Block grants. Two
additional market segments SF–424 data
set and forms, the SF–424 Individual
(SF–424 I) and the SF–424
Organizational Short (SF–424 short),
will be deployed later this year. Both
the SF–424 (I) and the SF–424 (short)
will provide a further streamlined
version of the SF–424 core data set and
form for specific applicant
communities. The SF–424 (I) will
provide a streamlined data set and form
for applicants that are individuals,
rather than organizations. The SF–424
(short) will provide a streamlined form
for those grant programs not required to
collect certain information on the SF–
424 core data set and form.
Use: Use of the standard data
elements was implemented through the
electronic grants application process of
Grants.gov, which was deployed in
October 2003 and is part of the
implementation of the Federal Financial
Assistance Management Improvement
Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106–107). Federal
agencies and applicants under
discretionary grant programs now use
the discretionary SF–424 core data set
and definitions for paper and electronic
applications.
Comments received on the
discretionary SF–424 core data set and
form during the public comment period
included the need for a further
streamlined version of the SF–424 for
use by the grant programs not required
to collect certain applicant information
as required on the SF–424 core data set
and form. In response to this need, the
SF–424 Short Organizational (SF–424
(short)) form is proposed to support the
streamlined application requirements of
some grant programs and to reduce the
administrative burden placed on this
applicant community. The SF–424
(short) provides agencies with an
alternative to the SF–424 core data set
and form. The SF–424 (short) can be
used by grants programs not required to
collect certain information on the SF–
424 core data set and form.

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 56 / Thursday, March 24, 2005 / Notices
Also in response to comments
received from the public, two new SF–
424 supplemental data sets and forms
are proposed. The first, the Key Contacts
data set and form, is proposed in
response to the request that the SF–424
form support collection of additional
key contact or point of contact
information. The Key Contacts form is
an optional form that the agencies may
include in the application package for
this purpose.
The second supplemental form, the
Project Abstract form, is proposed in
response to the public’s request that the
SF–424 support submission of project
abstract information. This optional form
provides the mechanism for the
applicant to attach a file that contains
an abstract of the project, in a format
specified by the agency.
Federal agencies will not be required
to use the SF–424 (short) or the
supplemental forms, nor be required to
collect all of the information included
in the proposed data sets. The agency
will identify the data that must be
provided by applicants through
instructions that will accompany the
application package.
An estimate of the total burden was
submitted during the first information
collection package for the discretionary
SF–424 on April 8, 2003, Federal
Register notice [68 FR 17090]. At that
time, an estimated 100,000 total number
of responses with an estimated average
time per response of 20 minutes per
form were calculated. The collection
information for the SF–424 (short) and
supplemental forms is estimated
similarly, subject to change based on
comments received during this public
comment period.
Frequency: Recordkeeping, Reporting,
on occasion.
Affected: Federal, State, Local and
Tribal governments; farms; non-profit
institutions, and other for-profit.
Total Annual Respondents: 100,000.
Total Annual Responses: 100,000.
Average Burden Per Response: 20
minutes.

Title of Information Collection
Request: SF–424 Individual.
Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–New.
Use: The discretionary SF–424 was

Discretionary grant applications in July

programs now use the standard SF–424
discretionary data set and definitions for
paper and electronic applications.
Comments received on the SF–424
discretionary data set and form by the
public included the need for a further
streamlined version of the SF–424 for
use by individuals. In response to this
need, the SF–424 Individual (SF–424
(I)) data set and form is proposed to
support the streamlined application
requirements of individuals and to
reduce the administrative burden placed
on this community. Although initially
envisioned for use by the cultural
agencies, such as NEA, NEH and IMLS
for their applicant communities, the SF–
424 (I) will support all grant-making
agencies where individuals, rather than
organizations, can apply for Federal
grants.
Federal agencies will not be required
to use the SF–424 (I) nor be required to
collect all of the information included
in the proposed data set. The agency
will identify the data that must be
provided by applicants through
instructions that will accompany the
application package.

Notice of Proposed Requirement To Establish Government-wide
Standard Data Elements for Use by All Federal Grant Making Agencies--
SF-424 Short Organizational and Supplemental Data Sets and Forms
AGENCY: Grants.gov Program Management Office.
In compliance with the requirement of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, the Grants.gov Program Management Office, one of the 26 E-
Government initiatives, managed by the Department of Health and Human
Services is publishing the following summary of proposed collection for
public comment. Interested individuals are invited to send comments
regarding any aspect of this collection of information.
Type of Information Collection Request: Emergency.
Title of Information Collection Request: SF-424 Short
Organizational (Short) and SF-424.
Supplemental forms: Key Contacts and Project Abstract.
Form/OMB No.: OS-4040-New.
Background: The discretionary SF-424, Application for Federal
Assistance was established as the government-wide standard core data
set and form for discretionary grant applications in July 31, 2003
[Federal Register Notice 68 FR 44974]. The SF-424 consolidates grant
application related data and forms used by Federal grant-making
agencies and organizations for their discretionary grant programs and
replaces numerous agency-specific forms. The effect has been to reduce
the administrative burden to the Federal grants community.
During the identification of the core SF-424 data set, it was
determined, that in some instances, there were sufficient commonalities
of data requirements across agencies to warrant a separate government-
wide SF-424 data set and form. Four ``market segment'' SF-424 data sets
and forms, in addition to the standard core data set, were subsequently
identified; each tailored for a specific segment of the applicant
community; and each developed for the purpose of reducing the
administrative burden on the applicant community. The market segment
SF-424 data sets and forms provide agencies with an alternative to the
SF-424 core data set and form.
The research and related market segment SF-424 (SF-424 R&R) data
set and form was deployed in November 2004 for use the by grant-making
agencies with a research mission or that conduct research-related
activities. The SF-424 Mandatory data set and form (SF-424 M) was
deployed in February 2005 for use by the agencies with mandatory grant
programs, including Formula and Block grants. Two additional market
segments SF-424 data set and forms, the SF-424 Individual (SF-424 I)
and the SF-424 Organizational Short (SF-424 short), will be deployed
later this year. Both the SF-424 (I) and the SF-424 (short) will
provide a further streamlined version of the SF-424 core data set and
form for specific applicant communities. The SF-424 (I) will provide a
streamlined data set and form for applicants that are individuals,
rather than organizations. The SF-424 (short) will provide a
streamlined form for those grant programs not required to collect
certain information on the SF-424 core data set and form.
Use: Use of the standard data elements was implemented through the
electronic grants application process of Grants.gov, which was deployed
in October 2003 and is part of the implementation of the Federal
Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (Pub. L. 106-
107). Federal agencies and applicants under discretionary grant
programs now use the discretionary SF-424 core data set and definitions
for paper and electronic applications.
Comments received on the discretionary SF-424 core data set and
form during the public comment period included the need for a further
streamlined version of the SF-424 for use by the grant programs not
required to collect certain applicant information as required on the
SF-424 core data set and form. In response to this need, the SF-424
Short Organizational (SF-424 (short)) form is proposed to support the
streamlined application requirements of some grant programs and to
reduce the administrative burden placed on this applicant community.
The SF-424 (short) provides agencies with an alternative to the SF-424
core data set and form. The SF-424 (short) can be used by grants
programs not required to collect certain information on the SF-424 core
data set and form.
[[Page 15090]]
Also in response to comments received from the public, two new SF-
424 supplemental data sets and forms are proposed. The first, the Key
Contacts data set and form, is proposed in response to the request that
the SF-424 form support collection of additional key contact or point
of contact information. The Key Contacts form is an optional form that
the agencies may include in the application package for this purpose.
The second supplemental form, the Project Abstract form, is
proposed in response to the public's request that the SF-424 support
submission of project abstract information. This optional form provides
the mechanism for the applicant to attach a file that contains an
abstract of the project, in a format specified by the agency.
Federal agencies will not be required to use the SF-424 (short) or
the supplemental forms, nor be required to collect all of the
information included in the proposed data sets. The agency will
identify the data that must be provided by applicants through
instructions that will accompany the application package.
An estimate of the total burden was submitted during the first
information collection package for the discretionary SF-424 on April 8,
2003, Federal Register notice [68 FR 17090]. At that time, an estimated
100,000 total number of responses with an estimated average time per
response of 20 minutes per form were calculated. The collection
information for the SF-424 (short) and supplemental forms is estimated
similarly, subject to change based on comments received during this
public comment period.
Frequency: Recordkeeping, Reporting, on occasion.
Affected: Federal, State, Local and Tribal governments; farms; non-
profit institutions, and other for-profit.
Total Annual Respondents: 100,000.
Total Annual Responses: 100,000.
Average Burden Per Response: 20 minutes.
