SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Organizational Information. 

OMB Number: 0524–0026. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

April 30, 2013. 

Type of Request: Intent to extend a 

currently approved information 

collection for three years. 

Abstract: NIFA has primary 

responsibility for providing linkages 

between the Federal and State 

components of a broad-based, national 

agricultural research, extension, and 

education system. Focused on national 

issues, its purpose is to represent the 

Secretary of Agriculture and carry out 

the intent of Congress by administering 

formula and grant funds appropriated 

for agricultural research, extension, and 

education. Before awards can be made, 

certain information is required from 

applicants to effectively assess the 

potential recipient’s capacity to manage 

Federal funds. 

Need for the Information: Form 

NIFA–666 ‘‘Organizational 

Information’’: Enables NIFA to 

determine that applicants recommended 

for awards will be responsible recipients 

of Federal funds. The information 

pertains to organizational management 

and financial matters of the potential 

grantee. This form and the documents 

which the applicant attaches to it 

provide NIFA with information such as 

the legal name of grantee, certification 

that the organization has the legal 

authority to accept Federal funding, 

identification and signatures of the key 

officials of the organization, the 

organization’s practices in regard to 

compensation rates and benefits of 

employees, insurance for equipment, 

subcontracting with other organizations, 

etc., as well as the financial condition 

of the organization and certification that 

the organization is not delinquent on 

Federal taxes. All of this information is 

considered by NIFA prior to award to 

determine whether the grantee is both 

managerially and fiscally responsible. 

This information is submitted to NIFA 

on a one-time basis and updated 

accordingly. If sufficient changes occur 

within the organization, the grantee 

submits revised information. 

Estimate of the Burden: NIFA 

estimates the number of responses for 

the Form NIFA–666 will be 150 with an 

estimated response time of 6.3 hours per 

form, representing a total annual burden 

of 945 hours for this form. These 

estimates are based on a survey of 

grantees that were approved for grant 

awards. 

They were asked to give an estimate 

of the time it took them to complete 

each form. This estimate was to include 

such things as: (1) Reviewing the 

instructions; (2) searching existing data 

sources; (3) gathering and maintaining 

the data needed; and (4) actual 

completion of the forms. The average 

time it took each respondent was 

calculated from their responses. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have a practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

information collection on those who are 

to respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.
