Agency Information Collection
Request; 60-Day Public Comment
Request
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of a
proposed information collection request
for public comment. Interested persons
are invited to send comments regarding
this burden estimate or any other aspect
of this collection of information,
including any of the following subjects:
(1) The necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
To obtain copies of the supporting
statement and any related forms for the
proposed paperwork collections
referenced above, e-mail your request,
including your address, phone number,
OMB number, and OS document
identifier, to
Sherette.funncoleman@hhs.gov, or call
the Reports Clearance Office on (202)
690–6162. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collections must be
received with 60-days, and directed to
the OS Paperwork.
Proposed Project: SF–424 Research &
Related (R&R) Form—Revision–OMB
No. 4040–0001—Grants.Gov.
Abstract: The SF–424 (R&R) is the
government-wide data set for research
grant applications. The data set provides
information to assist Federal program
staff and grants officials in assessing the
adequacy of applicant’s proposals to
accomplish project objectives and
determine whether grant applications
reflect program needs. Agencies will not
be required to collect all of the
information 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. The proposed data
set incorporates proposed revisions
adopted by the cross-agency R&R
working group. This working group
established the original proposed data
set (4040–0001) in 2004. The
instructions will also be revised.
We propose two major changes in our
revision request. The first major change
is to remove the Project/Performance
Site Location(s) form from the
collection. This form will be revised and
included in a separate OMB-approved
collection. The Project/Performance Site
Locations(s) forms will be required with
all SF–424 form families with the
exception of the SF–424 Individual
form. The second major change is to
incorporate into this collection the
Small Business Innovation Research
(SBIR)/Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) Information form (OMB
Number 0925–0001). The existing SBIR/
STTR Information form (OMB No.
0925–0001) will be discontinued once
this R&R collection is renewed. We are
requesting a 3-year extension of the
revised form. The affected public may
include Federal, State, Local, or tribal
governments, business or other for
profit, and not for profit institutions.

Proposed Project: SF-424 Research & Related (R&R) Form--Revision-
OMB No. 4040-0001--Grants.Gov.
Abstract: The SF-424 (R&R) is the government-wide data set for
research grant applications. The data set provides information to
assist Federal program staff and grants officials in assessing the
adequacy of applicant's proposals to accomplish project objectives and
determine whether grant applications reflect program needs. Agencies
will not be required to collect all of the information 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. The proposed data set incorporates proposed revisions adopted
by the cross-agency R&R working group. This working group established
the original proposed data set (4040-0001) in 2004. The instructions
will also be revised.
We propose two major changes in our revision request. The first
major change is to remove the Project/Performance Site Location(s) form
from the collection. This form will be revised and included in a
separate OMB-approved collection. The Project/Performance Site
Locations(s) forms will be required with all SF-424 form families with
the exception of the SF-424 Individual form. The second major change is
to incorporate into this collection the Small Business Innovation
Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Information

(OMB No. 0925-0001) will be discontinued once this R&R collection is
renewed. We are requesting a 3-year extension of the revised form. The
affected public may include Federal, State, Local, or tribal
governments, business or other for profit, and not for profit
institutions.
