SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, 

as part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the OMB for 

final approval. This program helps to 

ensure requested data can be provided 

in the desired format, reporting burden 

(time and financial resources) is 

minimized, collection instruments are 

clearly understood, and the impact of 

collection requirements can be properly 

assessed. 

Form OWCP–915 is used to claim 

reimbursement for out-of-pocket 

covered medical expenses paid by a 

beneficiary, and must be accompanied 

by required billing data elements 

(prepared by the medical provider) and 

by proof of payment by the beneficiary. 

Employees Compensation Act, 5 U.S.C. 

8101, Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. 

901, Energy Employees Occupational 

Illness Compensation Program Act of 

2000, 42 U.S.C. 7384 authorize this 

information collection. 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention 1240–0007. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the internet, without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, confidential 

business data, or other sensitive 

statements/information in any 

comments. 

The DOL is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate 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; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information 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, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Since 2014, Congress has provided an 

annual appropriation to LSC ‘‘for a Pro 

Bono Innovation Fund.’’ See, e.g., 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, 

Public Law 115–31, 131 Stat. 135 

(2017). LSC requested these funds for 

grants to ‘‘develop, test, and replicate 

innovative pro bono efforts that can 

enable LSC grantees to expand clients’ 

access to high quality legal assistance.’’ 

LSC Budget Request, Fiscal Year 2014 at 

26 (2013). The grants must involve 

innovations that are either ‘‘new ideas’’ 

or ‘‘new applications of existing best 

practices.’’ Id. Each grant would ‘‘either 

serve as a model for other legal services 

providers to follow or effectively 

replicate a prior innovation. Id. The 

Senate Appropriations Committee 

explained that these funds ‘‘will support 

innovative projects that promote and 

enhance pro bono initiatives throughout 

the Nation,’’ and the House 

Appropriations Committee directed LSC 

‘‘to increase the involvement of private 

attorneys in the delivery of legal 

services to [LSC-eligible] clients.’’ 

Senate Report 114–239 at 123 (2016), 

House Report 113–448 at 85 (2014). 

Since its inception, the Pro Bono 

Innovation Fund has advanced LSC’s 

goal of increasing the quantity and 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
8808 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Notices 

quality of legal services by funding 

projects that more efficiently and 

effectively involve pro bono volunteers 

in serving the critical unmet legal needs 

of LSC-eligible clients. In 2017, LSC 

built on these successes by creating 

three funding categories to better focus 

on innovations serving unmet and welldefined client needs (Project Grants), on 

building comprehensive and effective 

pro bono programs through new 

applications of existing best practices 

(Transformation Grants), and on 

providing continued development 

support for the most promising 

innovations (Sustainability Grants). 

II. Funding Opportunities Information 

A. Eligible Applicants 

To be eligible for the Pro Bono 

Innovation Fund’s Project, 

Sustainability, and Transformation 

grants, Applicants must be current 

grantees of LSC Basic Field-General, 

Basic Field-Migrant, or Basic FieldNative American grants. In addition, 

Sustainability Grant Applicants must 

also be a current Pro Bono Innovation 

Fund grantee with a 2019 grant award. 

B. Pro Bono Innovation Fund Purpose 

and Key Goals 

Pro Bono Innovation Fund grants 

develop, test, and replicate innovative 

pro bono efforts that can enable LSC 

grantees to use pro bono volunteers to 

serve larger numbers of low-income 

clients and improve the quality and 

effectiveness of the services provided. 

The key goals of the Pro Bono 

Innovation Fund are to: 

1. Address gaps in the delivery of 

legal services to low-income people; 

2. Engage more lawyers and other 

volunteers in pro bono service; 

3. Develop, test, and replicate 

innovative pro bono efforts. 

C. Funding Categories 

1. Project Grants 

The goal of Pro Bono Innovation Fund 

Project Grants is to leverage volunteers 

to meet a critical, unmet and welldefined client need. Consistent with the 

key goals of the Pro Bono Innovation 

Fund, applicants are encouraged to 

focus on engaging volunteers to increase 

free civil legal aid for low-income 

Americans by proposing new, replicable 

ideas. This year, the Pro Bono 

Innovation Fund will have two Project 

Grant types, Direct Service and Nondirect Service. Direct Service projects 

are focused on engaging volunteers to 

increase free legal assistance for eligible 

clients. Non-direct service projects 

propose to strengthen core aspects of 

pro bono delivery systems and may not 

result in direct pro bono client services 

within the grant timeframe (i.e., develop 

suite of substantive training materials, 

create on-demand videos for volunteers, 

etc.). 

Applicants are strongly encouraged to 

research prior Pro Bono Innovation 

Fund projects to replicate and improve 

upon them. LSC is particularly 

interested in applications that propose 

to replicate projects LSC has previously 

funded with ‘‘Sustainability’’ Grants. 

Project Grants can be either 18 or 24 

months. 

2. Transformation Grants 

The goal of Pro Bono Innovation Fund 

Transformation Grants is to support LSC 

grantees in comprehensive assessment 

and restructuring of pro bono programs 

through new applications of existing 

best practices in pro bono delivery. Each 

Transformation Grant will support a 

rigorous assessment of an LSC grantee’s 

pro bono program and the identification 

of best practices in pro bono delivery 

that are best suited to that grantee’s 

needs and circumstances. 

Transformation Grants are targeted 

towards LSC grantees whose leadership 

is committed to restructuring an entire 

pro bono program and incorporating pro 

bono best practices into core, highpriority client services with an urgency 

to create a high-impact pro bono 

program. This funding opportunity is 

open to all LSC grantees but is primarily 

intended for LSC grantees who have 

been unsuccessful applying for Project 

Grants or who have never applied for a 

Pro Bono Innovation Fund grant in the 

past. Transformation Grants can be 

either 24 or 36 months. 

3. Sustainability Grants 

Pro Bono Innovation Fund 

Sustainability Grants are available to 

current Pro Bono Innovation Fund 

grantees who received a 2019 Project 

grant. The goal of Sustainability Grants 

is to support further development of the 

most promising and replicable Pro Bono 

Innovation Fund projects with an 

additional 24 months of funding so 

grantees can leverage new sources of 

revenue for the project and collect 

meaningful data to demonstrate the 

project’s results and outcomes for 

clients and volunteers. Applicants for 

Sustainability Grants will be asked to 

propose an ambitious strategy that 

reduces the Pro Bono Innovation Fund 

contribution to the project over the 

Sustainability Grant term. 

D. Available Funds and Additional 

Consideration for 2021 Grants 

LSC anticipates awarding up to 

$4,512,500 through Pro Bono Innovation 

Fund grants in 2021. All awards are 

subject to the availability of 

appropriated funds and any 

modifications or additional 

requirements that may be imposed by 

law. LSC will not designate fixed or 

estimated amounts for the three 

different funding categories and will 

make grant awards for the three 

categories within the total amount of 

funding available. 

LSC’s Fiscal Year 2021 appropriations 

legislation included language for LSC 

‘‘to explore opportunities to increase 

access to eviction-related legal aid . . . 

including through LSC’s Pro Bono 

Innovation Fund.’’ PBIF proposals that 

direct pro bono resources towards 

addressing unmet legal needs for 

evictions in jurisdictions with high 

eviction rates will receive additional 

consideration in the application review 

process. 

E. Grant Terms 

Pro Bono Innovation Fund awards can 

have grant terms of 18, 24, or 36 

months, depending on the category of 

grant.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 25 / Tuesday, February 9, 2021 / Notices 8809 

Applicants for Project Grants can 

apply for either an 18- or a 24-month 

grant. Applicants for Transformation

III. Grant Application Process 

A. Pro Bono Innovation Fund Grant 

Application Process 

This year, the Pro Bono Innovation 

Fund application process will be 

administered in LSC’s unified grants 

management system, GrantEase. 

Applicants must first submit a PreApplication (formerly Letter of Intent to 

Apply for Funding or ‘‘LOI’’) to LSC in 

GrantEase by March 15, 2021 to be 

considered for a grant. After review by 

LSC Staff, LSC’s President decides 

which applicants will be asked to 

submit a full application. Applicants 

will be notified of approval to submit a 

full application by mid-May 2021. Full 

applications are due to LSC in the 

GrantEase system on July 1, 2021. Once 

received, full applications will undergo 

a rigorous review by LSC staff and other 

subject matter experts. LSC’s President 

makes the final decision on funding for 

the Pro Bono Innovation Fund. 

B. Late or Incomplete Applications 

LSC may consider a request to submit 

a Pre-Application after the deadline, but 

only if the Applicant has submitted an 

email to probonoinnovation@lsc.gov 

explaining the circumstances that 

caused the delay prior to the PreApplication deadline. Communication 

with LSC staff, including assigned 

Program Liaisons, is not a substitute for 

sending a formal request and 

explanation to probonoinnovation@

lsc.gov. At its discretion, LSC may 

consider incomplete applications. LSC 

will determine the admissibility of late 

or incomplete applications on a case-bycase basis. 

C. Multiple Pre-Applications 

Applicants may submit multiple Preapplications under the same or different 

funding category. If applying for 

multiple grants, applicants should 

submit separate Pre-applications for 

each funding request. 

D. Additional Information and 

Guidelines 

Additional guidance and instructions 

on the Pro Bono Innovation Fund PreApplication and Application processes, 

will be available and regularly updated 

at https://www.lsc.gov/grants-granteeresources/our-grant-programs/pro-bonoinnovation-fund.
