collection for public comment.
Interested individuals are invited to
send comments regarding any aspect of
this collection of information or any

information, including any of the
following subjects: (1) The necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of

(4) the use of automated collection

Type of Information Collection
Request: Regular, Revision of a currently
approved collection;
Title of Information Collection: SF–
424 Application for Federal Assistance;
Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–0004
(Formerly OMB–0348–0043);
The SF–424 Application for Federal
Assistance (OMB control number 0348–
0043) was cleared by OMB for
emergency use on July 31, 2003, Federal
Register notice [68 FR 44974]. OMB has
since assigned the responsibility for this
government-wide standard form to the
Grants.gov Program Management Office
and therefore the SF–424 Application
for Federal Assistance OMB control
number was changed in April 2005 from
0348–0043 to 4040–0004. A 60-day
Federal Register Notice was published
on September 15, 2005 [Vol. 70. No.
178].
Use: In the Federal Register notice
published April 8, 2003 [68 FR 17090],
OMB proposed to establish a
government-wide standard set of data
elements and definitions for grantrelated applications. After consultation
with the public, OMB added four data
elements to the existing Standard Form
424 (SF–424), Application for Federal
Assistance data elements and
established the data as the standard core
data set for use on both paper and
electronic applications. After obtaining
emergency clearance, July 31, 2003,
Federal Register notice, [68 FR 44974],
use of the standard data elements was
implemented through the electronic
grants application process of Grants.gov,
and was deployed in October 2003 as
part of the implementation of the
Federal Financial Assistance
Management Improvement Act of 1999
(Pub. L. 106–107).
OMB recognized that a transition
period would be needed to provide
agencies time to adapt their application
forms and systems to the SF–424 core
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
data set and to phase out the use of the
old forms. OMB committed to a oneyear transition period and further
committed to reevaluate the data set at
the end of the transition period.
Following the expiration of the
transition period, a cross-agency
working group recommended revisions
to the SF–424 core data set and form.
Based on these recommendations, the
Grants.gov Program office now proposes
the addition of the following three new
standard data elements to the SF–424
data set and form: Requesting entity’s
Province to collect non-US geographic
subdivision data for international
address purposes, if applicable.
Requesting entity’s Point of Contact’s
Organizational Affiliation, if applicable.
Requesting entity’s Point of Contact’s
Title, if applicable.
The Grants.gov Program office further
proposes deletion of the requesting
entity’s designation of construction or
non-construction type of submission
data element. Also proposed are nondata collection related changes, i.e.,
renaming of data elements. These
changes are presented in the supporting
statement found on the HHS Web site at
https://www.hhs.gov/oirm/infocollect/
pending.
Federal agencies will not be required
to collect all of the information included
in the data set. The agency will identify
the data that must be provided by
applicants through instructions that will
accompany the application package.
The efforts to address potential future
revisions to the SF–424A and SF–424C
budget forms and categories and to
evaluate the SF–424B and SF–424D
assurance language are separate efforts
to be undertaken by the Public Law 106/
107 working groups and have no impact
upon the proposed revisions to the SF–
424 data set or form.
An estimate of the total burden was
submitted during the first information
collection package for the SF–424 on
April 8, 2003, Federal Register notice
[68 FR 17090]. The estimate has been
updated based on the Paperwork
Reduction Act Worksheets (OMB 83–C)
received from the agencies. Collectively,
the agencies plan to receive 142,223
applications annually and estimate that
it takes applicants one hour on average
to complete each application.
Cumulatively, the agencies report the
total burden to applicants to be 146,758
hours.
Frequency: Recordkeeping, Reporting,
on occasion.
Affected: Federal, State, Local and
Tribal governments; farms; non-profit
institutions, and other for-profit.
Total Annual Respondents: 77,576.
Total Annual Responses: 142,223.
