of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Office of the Secretary (OS), Department 

of Health and Human Services, is 

publishing the following summary of a 

proposed collection for public 

comment. Interested persons are invited 

to send comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,

burden. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision. 

Title of Information Collection: SF–

424 Short Organizational. 

Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–0003. 

Use: The SF–424 (short) is a 

simplified, alternative government-wide 

data set and application cover page for 

use by Federal grant-making agencies. 

Agencies may use the SF–424 (short) for 

grant programs not requiring all the data 

that is required on the SF–424 core data 

set and form. This information 

collection request also includes two 

additional government-wide forms, the 

Key Contacts form and the Project 

Abstract form, each of which can be 

used in conjunction with the SF–424 to 

collect supplemental applicant data. 

The form will include one change to 

one field—the Social Security Number 

(SSN). The SSN field will remain 

optional. The SSN field will be changed 

to pre-populate the first five digits with 

‘‘000–00-’’ The applicant will only enter 

the last four digits of the SSN. This 

change ensures the entire SSN will not 

be collected or stored. This change will 

not increase the collection burden to the 

applicant.

Occasion.

Households. 

Annual Number of Respondents: 

8276.
