SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department is requesting approval for a generic Solicitation 
for Grant Application (SGA) form for information collection 
requirements for SGAs that extend beyond what is collected on currently 
approved standard forms. OMB approval of this generic SGA form will 
assist the Department to carry out its responsibilities under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act by accurately accounting for the public burden 
associated with grant applications through the promotion of a common 
structure for reporting the information collection requirements 
contained in DOL's SGAs.
    Periodically, the Department of Labor (DOL or the Department) 
solicits applications for grants through issuing a ``Solicitation for 
Grant Applications'' or ``SGA.'' To ensure that grants are awarded to 
the applicant best suited to perform the functions of the grant, 
applicants are generally required to submit a two-part application. The 
first part of DOL's grant applications consists of submitting the 
Standard Form 424 (SF-424), ``Application for Federal Assistance.'' The 
second part of a grant application usually requires a technical 
proposal demonstrating the applicant's capabilities in accordance with 
a statement of work and/or selection criteria.
    The information collected in response to solicitations for grant 
applications has been and will be used by the Department of Labor for 
awarding grants to the applicants most suited for fulfilling the 
mission of the grant.

II. Review Focus

    The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments 
which:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
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 to respond, including through 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.
