Title of Information Collection: SF–
424 Short Organizational;
Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–0003;
Use: On March 24, 2005, the
Grants.gov Program Management Office,
one of the 26 E-Government initiatives,
managed by HHS, published the
proposed SF–424 Short Organizational
(Short) collection for public comment in
the Federal Register (70 FR 15089).
Interested individuals were invited to
send comments regarding any aspect of
this collection of information. This
notice indicates request for extension of
OMB clearance for the SF–424 (Short),
and also responds to comments received
on the March 24, 2005, Federal Register
notice.
The SF–424 (short) is a simplified,
alternative government-wide data set
and application cover page for use by
Federal grant-making agencies. Agencies
may use the SF–424 (Short) for grant
programs not requiring all the data that
is required on the SF–424 core data set
and form. This information collection
request also includes two additional
government-wide forms, the Key
Contacts form and the Project Abstract
form, each of which can be used in
conjunction with the SF–424 to collect
supplemental applicant data. The Key
Contacts form is an optional form that
the agencies may use to collect
additional key contact or point of
contact information. The Project
Abstract form is also an optional form
that provides the mechanism for the
applicant to attach a file that contains
an abstract of the project, in a format
specified by the agency.
The SF–424 (Short) and supplemental
data set and forms are currently
available for use as part of the electronic

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
(Public Law 106–107). The standard
data set replaces numerous agency data
sets and reduces the administrative
burden placed on the grants community.
Federal agencies are not 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.
Comments sent to OMB by the public,
questioned the need to collect the Social
Security Number (SSN) for the Project
Director and/or the Primary Contact/
Grants Administrator. Grants.gov
responded to this comment by revising
the application cover page to indicate
that SSN is optional and adding the
following statement, ‘‘Disclosure of SSN
is voluntary. Please see the application
package instructions for the agency’s
authority and routine uses of the data.’’
In addition, OMB has also requested
that Grants.gov, in consultation with
other agencies, investigate options for a
unique identifier other than SSN.
Grants.gov plans to address this
condition through its newly formed
Agency User Group.
The estimate of the total burden of the
collection information has been updated
based on the Paperwork Reduction Act
Worksheets (OMB 83–C) received from
the agencies. Currently, six agencies
plan to use the SF–424 (Short) in lieu
of the SF–424 for eligible grant
programs. Collectively, the agencies
plan to receive 8,549 applications
annually and estimate that it takes
applicants 25 minutes on average to
complete each application.
Cumulatively, these organizations report
the total burden to applicants to be
3,652 hours.
Frequency: Recordkeeping, Reporting,
on occasion.
Affected: Federal, State, Local and
Tribal governments; farms; non-profit
institutions, and other for-profit.
Total Annual Respondents: 8,276.
Total Annual Responses: 8,549.
Average Burden Per Response: 25
minutes.

Grants.gov Program Management Office,
one of the 26 E-Government initiatives,
managed by HHS, published the
proposed SF–424 Application for
Federal Assistance, Individual (SF–424
I) collection for public comment in the
Federal Register (70 FR 15090).
Interested individuals were invited to
send comments regarding any aspect of
this collection of information. This
notice indicates request for extension of
OMB clearance for the SF–424 (I), and
also responds to comments received on
the March 24, 2005, Federal Register
notice.
The SF–424 (I) is the governmentwide data set and application cover
page for use by Federal grant-making
agencies that award grants to
individuals. The SF–424 (I) is currently
available for use as part of the electronic
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
(Public Law 106–107). The standard
data set replaces numerous agency data
sets and reduces the administrative
burden placed on the grants community.
Federal agencies are not 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.
Comments sent to OMB by the public,
questioned the need to collect the Social

responded to this comment by revising
the application cover page to indicate
that SSN is optional and adding the

Grants.gov plans to address this
condition through its newly formed

The estimate of the total burden of the
collection information has been updated
based on the Paperwork Reduction Act
Worksheets (OMB 83–C) received from
the agencies. Currently, five agencies
plan to use the SF–424 (I) instead of the
SF–424 for eligible grant programs.
