62456 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 206 / Tuesday, October 26, 2004 / Notices 

Brief Abstract: Primary: Law 

enforcement agencies and other public 

and private entities that apply for COPS 

Office grants or cooperative agreements 

will be asked to complete the COPS 

Application Attachment to SF–424. The 

COPS Application Attachment to SF–

424 is the result of a COPS Office 

business process reengineering effort 

aimed at standardization as required 

under the grant streamlining 

requirements of Pub. L. 106–107, the 

Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999, 

as well as the President’s Management 

Agenda E-grants Initiative. Currently, 

the COPS Office uses multiple 

application forms that are not 

standardized across programs. This new 

form streamlines application forms 

across all COPS Office programs and 

should reduce the burden on applicants 

due their ability to use the same form 

for multiple programs, thus reducing the 

need for applicant’s to learn how to 

complete multiple forms. 

(5) An Estimate of the Total Number 

of Respondents and the Amount of Time 

Estimated for an Average Respondent 

To Respond/Reply: It is estimated that 

6,200 respondents annually will 

complete the form within 8 hours. 

(6) An Estimate of the Total Public 

Burden (in Hours) Associated With the 

Collection: There are an estimated 

49,600 total annual burden hours 

associated with this collection.
