An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Office of Procurement and Property Management Title: Outreach and Assistance to Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program (2501 Program) Application and Performance Reporting. OMB Control Number: 0503–NEW. Summary of Collection: Under 7 U.S.C. 6934, the Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement (OPPE) is directed to administer section 2501 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 2279, the Act). Section 2501 directs the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out an outreach program to encourage and assist socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, veteran farmers and ranchers, and beginning farmers and ranchers in owning and operating farms and ranches, and in participating equitably in the full range of agricultural programs offered by the Department. In order to do so, the Secretary may make grants to eligible entities that have demonstrated an ability to provide such outreach and technical assistance. Part A of this ICR addresses the application process for potential grantees to submit applications for funding to the Secretary for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements of section 2501 of the Act. Additionally, the Secretary is directed by section 2501 of the Act to report certain data to Congress on an annual basis. Part B of this request addresses the creation of a web-based system to collect information from grantees that will partially fulfill this requirement. Part C of this request addresses the creation of a survey tool that will allow OPPE to engage directly with program participants from grantee programs in order to collect the data needed to respond fully to the Act’s requirements for Congressional Reporting. Need and Use of the Information: Applicant organizations applying for funding under the 2501 grant program will be asked to complete a standard grants.gov application package. The package includes: Standard Form (SF) 424; Application for Federal Assistance; Project/Performance Site Location(s); VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:43 Oct 15, 2024 Jkt 265001 Project Abstract Summary; Project Narrative; Standard Form (SF) 424A; Budget Information—Non-Construction Programs; Budget Narrative; Key Contacts (list names of all key personnel expected to work on the project); Grants.gov Lobbying Form; Resumes of all key personnel working on the project; and related documentation (e.g., Articles of Incorporation for all nonprofit organizations, 501(c)(3) status documentation). This information will be solicited from grantee organizations, which may include: Institutes of Higher Education, community-based nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, and Tribal entities. Recipient organizations will be required to submit progress reports on their activities on an annual basis, except in cases where OPPE deems it necessary to receive reports more frequently, as well as a final performance report summarizing their activities and performance at the end of the award period. Reports also contain financial management information regarding the way OPPE funding was spent by the organization. OPPE plans to collect this information through a web-based portal, which is intended to simplify the collection of this information for both the grantees and the OPPE personnel who process that information. Participants in programming by recipient organizations will be asked to complete post-activity surveys regarding their demographics, participation, and outcomes. This survey will be administered by grantee organizations through a survey platform created and managed by OPPE, which is intended to relieve the recipient organization of the burden of creating a collection mechanism, and also to simplify the collection and collation of this data. Description of Respondents: Local, State and Tribal Governments. Number of Respondents: 5,120. Frequency of Responses: Annually; Semi-annually. Total Burden Hours: 34,800. Levi S.
