Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.
    In compliance with the requirement 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 collection of information, including any 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, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection 
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.
    Frequency: Recordkeeping on Occasion.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Annual Number of Respondents: 8276.
    Total Annual Responses: 8549.
