American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA) section 3001 provides an
assistance eligible individual with the
right to pay reduced health benefits
premiums under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1986, commonly called COBRA, for up
to 9 months. If an individual requests
treatment as an assistance eligible
individual and is denied such treatment
because of COBRA continuation
coverage ineligibility, ARRA section
3001(a)(5) requires the Secretary of
Labor to provide for expedited review of
the denial upon application to the
Secretary in the form and manner the
Secretary provides. The Secretary of
Labor is required to act in consultation
with the Secretary of the Treasury and
must make a determination within 15
business days after receipt of an
individual’s application for review. The
Application to the Department of Labor
for Expedited Review of Denial of
COBRA Premium Reduction is the form
used by individuals to file their
expedited review appeals. Such
individuals must complete all
information requested on the
Application in order to file their review
requests with the EBSA. The ICR relates
to the Application.

and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1210–0135. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
November 30, 2012; however, it should
be noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on June 25, 2012 (77 FR 37920).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of

The DOL
periodically solicits grant applications
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

by issuing a Solicitation for Grant
Applications (SGA). To ensure grants
are awarded to the applicant(s) best
suited to perform the functions of the
grant, applicants are generally required
to submit a two-part application. The
first part of DOL grant applications
consists of submitting Standard Form
424, Application for Federal Assistance,
which is approved by the OMB under
Control Number 4040–0004. 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. This ICR is a generic solution
for SGAs that extend information
collection requirements beyond what is
collected on currently approved
standard forms.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1225–0086. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
November 30, 2012; however, it should
be noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on November 10, 2012 (77 FR
55505).
