Title: Uniform Administrative 

Requirements For Grants and 

Cooperative Agreements to State and 

Local Governments and For Grants and 

Cooperative Agreements with 

Institutions of Higher Education, 

Hospitals, and Other Nonprofit 

Organizations. 

Form Numbers: SF–424, SF–425, SF– 

270, and SF–271. 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

previously approved collection. 

Abstract: The Department of 

Transportation (DOT) requests approval 

to combine OMB Control numbers 

2105–0520 and 2105–0531 into OMB 

Control Number 2105–0520. This 

information collection involves the use 

of various forms necessary because of 

management and oversight 

responsibilities of the agency imposed 

by OMB Circular 2 CFR 215 (A–110) 

(Uniform Administrative Requirements 

for Grants and Agreements with 

Institutions of Higher Education, 

Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit 

Organizations) and OMB Circular A–102 

(Uniform Administrative Requirements 

for Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

to State and Local Governments). These 

forms include Application for Federal 

Assistance (SF–424), Federal Financial 

Report (SF–425), Request for Advance 

or Reimbursement (SF–270), and Outlay 

Report and Request for Reimbursement 

for Construction Programs (SF–271). 

The Department has discontinued the 

use of the Financial Status Report (SF– 

269 and SF–269A) and Federal Cash 

Transactions Report (SF–272 and SF– 

272A). The information contained in 

these forms have been consolidated into 

SF–425, which is a new form approved 

by OMB for Federal-wide use on 

October 1, 2008 and recently revised on 

June 28, 2010. According to the Federal 

Register notice dated August 13, 2008, 

agencies were to begin using SF–425 ‘‘as 

soon as possible after October 1, 2008, 

and no later than October 1, 2009, each 

agency must transition from the SF–269, 

SF–269A, SF–272, and SF–272A to the 

SF–425, by requiring recipients to use 

the FFR for all financial reports 

submitted after the date it makes the 

transition. In making the transition, an 

agency would incorporate the 

requirement to use the FFR into terms 

and conditions of new and ongoing 

grant and cooperative agreement 

awards, State plans, and/or program 

regulations that specify financial 

reporting requirements.’’ Comments on 

this notice were received and addressed 

in a Federal Register notice dated 

August 13, 2008 (73 FR, 47246). These 

comments and responses can be found
