(3) The Agency Form Number, if any, and the Applicable Component of the Department Sponsoring the Collection: No form number available. Office of Justice Programs, Department of Justice. (4) Affected Public Who Will be Asked or Required to Respond, as well as a Brief Abstract: The primary respondents are state agencies, tribal governments, local governments, colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, and faith-based organizations. The purpose of the PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 22559 solicitation template is to provide a framework to develop program-specific announcements soliciting applications for funding. A program solicitation outlines the specifics of the funding program; describes requirements for eligibility; instructs an applicant on the necessary components of an application under a specific program (e.g., project activities, project abstract, project timeline, proposed budget, etc.); outlines program evaluation and performance measures; explains selection criteria and the review process; and provides registration dates, deadlines, and instructions on how to apply within the designated application system. This collection is also incorporating the previously approved collection for the OJP Budget Detail Worksheet (1121–0188). The Budget Detail Worksheet is only required during the application process, and therefore should be included in this collection with the solicitation template, reducing the number of OMB PRA reviews and approvals needed. The primary respondents are the same, as listed above, and the worksheet provides auto calculated fields and instructions for the necessary budget information required for each application submission (e.g. personnel/ benefits, travel, indirect cost rates, etc.). The form is not mandatory and is recommended as guidance to assist the applicant in preparing their budget as authorized in 28 CFR part 66 and 28 CFR part 70. (5) An Estimate of the Total Number of Respondents and the Amount of Time Estimated for an Average Respondent to Respond: It is estimated that information will be collected annually from approximately 10,000 applicants. Annual cost to the respondents is based on the number of hours involved in preparing and submitting a complete application package. Mandatory requirements for an application include a program narrative and budget details and narrative (formerly 1121–0188). Optional requirements can be imposed depending on the type of program to include, but not limited to: project abstract, indirect cost rate agreement, tribal authorizing resolution, timelines, logic models, memoranda of understanding, letters of support, resumes, disclosure of pending applications, and research and evaluation independence and integrity. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated at up to 32 hours per application. The 32hour estimate is based on the amount of time to prepare a research and evaluation proposal, one of the most E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM 16APN1 22560 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 73 / Tuesday, April 16, 2013 / Notices time intensive types of application solicited by OJP. The estimate of burden hours is based on OJP’s prior experience with the research application submission process. (6) An Estimate of the Total Public Burden (in hours) Associated with the collection: The estimated public burden associated with this application is 320,000 hours.

These limits were further revised by P.L. 112–240, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA). Section 254 of BBEDCA requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to issue a Final Sequestration Report after Congress ends a session to determine whether or not a sequestration of discretionary budget authority is required based on OMB scoring of enacted appropriations legislation against those limits. ATRA, however, delayed the release of this report. Based on its scoring of enacted 2013 appropriations, OMB has determined that a sequestration of discretionary budget authority pursuant to section 251 of BBEDCA is not required. As required, these estimates rely on the same economic and technical assumptions used in the President’s 2013 Budget, which the Administration transmitted to the Congress on February 13, 2012. Effective Date: Sec. 254(b). SUBMISSION AND AVAILABILITY OF REPORTS.—Each report required by this section shall be submitted, in the case of CBO, to the House of Representatives, the Senate and OMB and, in the case of OMB, to the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the President on the day it is issued. On the following day a notice of the report shall be printed in the Federal Register.

ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request for comments. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no longer needed for current Government business. They authorize the preservation of records of continuing value in the National Archives of the United States and the destruction, after a specified period, of records lacking administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published for records schedules in which agencies propose to destroy records not previously authorized for disposal or reduce the retention period of records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments on such records schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before May 16, 2013. Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA will send a copy of the schedule. NARA staff usually prepare appraisal memorandums that contain additional information concerning the records covered by a proposed schedule. These, too, may be requested and will be provided once the appraisal is completed. Requesters will be given 30 days to submit comments. ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of any records schedule identified in this notice by contacting Records Management Services (ACNR) using one of the following means: Mail: NARA (ACNR), 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001. Email: request.schedule@nara.gov. FAX: 301–837–3698. Requesters must cite the control number, which appears in parentheses after the name of the agency which submitted the schedule, and must provide a mailing address. Those who desire appraisal reports should so indicate in their request.

tribal governments, local governments, colleges and universities, non-
profit organizations, for-profit organizations, and faith-based 
organizations. The purpose of the solicitation template is to provide a 
framework to develop program-specific announcements soliciting 
applications for funding. A program solicitation outlines the specifics

on how to apply within the designated application system. This 
collection is also incorporating the previously approved collection for 
the OJP Budget Detail Worksheet (1121-0188). The Budget Detail 
Worksheet is only required during the application process, and 
therefore should be included in this collection with the solicitation 
template, reducing the number of OMB PRA reviews and approvals needed.

worksheet provides auto calculated fields and instructions for the 
necessary budget information required for each application submission 
(e.g. personnel/benefits, travel, indirect cost rates, etc.). The form 
is not mandatory and is recommended as guidance to assist the applicant 
in preparing their budget as authorized in 28 CFR part 66 and 28 CFR 
part 70.
    (5) An Estimate of the Total Number of Respondents and the Amount 
of Time Estimated for an Average Respondent to Respond: It is estimated 
that information will be collected annually from approximately 10,000 
applicants. Annual cost to the respondents is based on the number of 
hours involved in preparing and submitting a complete application 
package. Mandatory requirements for an application include a program 
narrative and budget details and narrative (formerly 1121-0188). 
Optional requirements can be imposed depending on the type of program 
to include, but not limited to: project abstract, indirect cost rate 
agreement, tribal authorizing resolution, timelines, logic models, 
memoranda of understanding, letters of support, resumes, disclosure of 
pending applications, and research and evaluation independence and 
integrity. Public reporting burden for this collection of information 
is estimated at up to 32 hours per application. The 32-hour estimate is 
based on the amount of time to prepare a research and evaluation 
proposal, one of the most
