Jkt 241001
1. Type of Information Collection:
Substantive Revision to 1121–0329.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
OJP Solicitation Template.
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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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.
The substantive revision to this
collection include three items: (1) The
OJP Budget Detail Worksheet; (2) the
Coordinated Tribal Assistance
Solicitation (CTAS) Tribal Narrative
Profile, Budget Detail Worksheet and
Demographic Form; and (3) the
Financial Management and System of
Internal Controls Questionnaire (FCQ).
The now mandatory OJP Budget
Detail Worksheet (BDW) will be
streamlined and automated with the
intent of reducing the burden on public
submissions. The current PDF format
will be converted to Excel, providing
ease of entry and more accurate detail
of budget information. Additionally, the
BDW has taken the ‘‘consultant/
contracts’’ section and broken the
details out into two separate sections,
‘‘subrecipient/subgrants’’ and
‘‘procurement contracts’’ to better
categorize the details of proposed
consultants. Updated and clearer
guidance will also be added to better
explain how to complete the BDW and
the level of detail required in each
section.
The Coordinated Tribal Assistance
Solicitation (CTAS) Tribal Community
and Justice Profile is designed to allow
the tribe to describe its community
strengths, resources, challenges, and
needs. The applicant may enter as much
or as little text as needed to fully
describe the community. The CTAS
BDW and Demographics Form will be
updated to align with the BDW
streamlining and automation efforts. In
addition to those revisions, the
Demographics section of the CTAS BDW
is designed to capture the unique
characteristics of each tribe in order to
paint a more detailed picture of each
tribe’s strengths and challenges. It
requests applicants to provide
information regarding tribe information;
Uniform Crime Report data; law
enforcement information; and facilities,
capacities, and capabilities information.
The revised FCQ will include five
new questions: Three which are
required by legislation regarding
nonprofit status; one which is simply a
clarification of an existing approved
question regarding subawards and
procurement contracts; and one
regarding executive compensation that
is also required by legislation and was
already part of the approved OJP

solicitation template but was requiring a
separate email submission to OJP.
Adding it to the FCQ will save the
applicant time and effort.
The primary respondents for all three
revisions are the same, as listed above.
While use of the CTAS BDW and
Demographics form is not mandatory, it
is required that all applicants ensure
that all budget and demographic
information requested in the form is
included in whichever format the
applicant choses to use. OJP intends to
require the same with the OJP BDW.
The FCQ is also required of all
application submissions that do not
already have an updated FCQ on file
within the last 3 years.
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 under
the OJP Standard Solicitation Template
include a program narrative; budget
details and narrative, via the OJP
standard BDW; Applicant Disclosure of
Pending Applications; Applicant
Disclosure of High Risk Status; and the
FCQ. With the exception of the Tribal
Narrative Profile and added
Demographic form, the mandatory
requirements for an application under
the CTAS Solicitation Template are the
same as those for OJP. Optional
requirements can be made mandatory
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, 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 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.

Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Substantive Revision to 1121-
0329.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: OJP Solicitation Template.
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 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.
The substantive revision to this collection include three items:
(1) The OJP Budget Detail Worksheet; (2) the Coordinated Tribal
Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) Tribal Narrative Profile, Budget Detail
Worksheet and Demographic Form; and (3) the Financial Management and
System of Internal Controls Questionnaire (FCQ).
The now mandatory OJP Budget Detail Worksheet (BDW) will be
streamlined and automated with the intent of reducing the burden on
public submissions. The current PDF format will be converted to Excel,
providing ease of entry and more accurate detail of budget information.
Additionally, the BDW has taken the ``consultant/contracts'' section
and broken the details out into two separate sections, ``subrecipient/
subgrants'' and ``procurement contracts'' to better categorize the
details of proposed consultants. Updated and clearer guidance will also
be added to better explain how to complete the BDW and the level of
detail required in each section.
The Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) Tribal
Community and Justice Profile is designed to allow the tribe to
describe its community strengths, resources, challenges, and needs. The
applicant may enter as much or as little text as needed to fully
describe the community. The CTAS BDW and Demographics Form will be
updated to align with the BDW streamlining and automation efforts. In
addition to those revisions, the Demographics section of the CTAS BDW
is designed to capture the unique characteristics of each tribe in
order to paint a more detailed picture of each tribe's strengths and
challenges. It requests applicants to provide information regarding
tribe information; Uniform Crime Report data; law enforcement
information; and facilities, capacities, and capabilities information.
The revised FCQ will include five new questions: Three which are
required by legislation regarding nonprofit status; one which is simply
a clarification of an existing approved question regarding subawards
and procurement contracts; and one regarding executive compensation
that is also required by legislation and was already part of the
approved OJP
[[Page 38941]]
solicitation template but was requiring a separate email submission to
OJP. Adding it to the FCQ will save the applicant time and effort.
The primary respondents for all three revisions are the same, as
listed above. While use of the CTAS BDW and Demographics form is not
mandatory, it is required that all applicants ensure that all budget
and demographic information requested in the form is included in
whichever format the applicant choses to use. OJP intends to require
the same with the OJP BDW. The FCQ is also required of all application
submissions that do not already have an updated FCQ on file within the
last 3 years.
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 under the OJP
Standard Solicitation Template include a program narrative; budget
details and narrative, via the OJP standard BDW; Applicant Disclosure
of Pending Applications; Applicant Disclosure of High Risk Status; and
the FCQ. With the exception of the Tribal Narrative Profile and added
Demographic form, the mandatory requirements for an application under
the CTAS Solicitation Template are the same as those for OJP. Optional
requirements can be made mandatory 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, 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 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.
