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.

Notice of Proposed Requirement To
Establish Government-wide Standard
Data Elements for Use by All Federal
Grant Making Agencies—SF–424
Individual
Grants.gov Program
Management Office, DHHS.
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 Individual.
Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–New.
Use: The discretionary SF–424 was
established as the government-wide
standard 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
currently 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, which includes
applicants/grantees and Federal staff
involved in grants-related activities.
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
AGENCY:
PO 00000

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.
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 (I) is

Notice of Proposed Requirement To Establish Government-wide
Standard Data Elements for Use by All Federal Grant Making Agencies--
SF-424 Individual
AGENCY: Grants.gov Program Management Office, DHHS.
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 Individual.
Form/OMB No.: OS-4040-New.
Use: The discretionary SF-424 was established as the government-
wide standard 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 currently 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, which includes applicants/grantees and Federal staff
involved in grants-related activities.
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 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

envisioned for use by the cultural agencies, such as NEA, NEH and IMLS

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.
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
