Title: Outreach and Assistance to 

Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and 

Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and 

Ranchers Program (2501 Program) 

Application and Performance Reporting. 

OMB Control Number: 0503–NEW. 

Summary of Collection: Under 7 

U.S.C. 6934, the Office of Partnerships 

and Public Engagement (OPPE) is 

directed to administer section 2501 of 

the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, 

and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 2279, 

the Act). Section 2501 directs the 

Secretary of Agriculture to carry out an 

outreach program to encourage and 

assist socially disadvantaged farmers 

and ranchers, veteran farmers and 

ranchers, and beginning farmers and 

ranchers in owning and operating farms 

and ranches, and in participating 

equitably in the full range of agricultural 

programs offered by the Department. In 

order to do so, the Secretary may make 

grants to eligible entities that have 

demonstrated an ability to provide such 

outreach and technical assistance. Part 

A of this ICR addresses the application 

process for potential grantees to submit 

applications for funding to the Secretary 

for the purposes of fulfilling the 

requirements of section 2501 of the Act. 

Additionally, the Secretary is directed 

by section 2501 of the Act to report 

certain data to Congress on an annual 

basis. Part B of this request addresses 

the creation of a web-based system to 

collect information from grantees that 

will partially fulfill this requirement. 

Part C of this request addresses the 

creation of a survey tool that will allow 

OPPE to engage directly with program 

participants from grantee programs in 

order to collect the data needed to 

respond fully to the Act’s requirements 

for Congressional Reporting. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Applicant organizations applying for 

funding under the 2501 grant program 

will be asked to complete a standard 

grants.gov application package. The 

package includes: Standard Form (SF) 

424; Application for Federal Assistance; 

Project/Performance Site Location(s); 

Project Abstract Summary; Project 

Narrative; Standard Form (SF) 424A; 

Budget Information—Non-Construction 

Programs; Budget Narrative; Key 

Contacts (list names of all key personnel 

expected to work on the project); 

Grants.gov Lobbying Form; Resumes of 

all key personnel working on the 

project; and related documentation (e.g., 

Articles of Incorporation for all 

nonprofit organizations, 501(c)(3) status 

documentation). This information will 

be solicited from grantee organizations, 

which may include: Institutes of Higher 

Education, community-based nonprofit 

501(c)(3) organizations, and Tribal 

entities. Recipient organizations will be 

required to submit progress reports on 

their activities on an annual basis, 

except in cases where OPPE deems it 

necessary to receive reports more 

frequently, as well as a final 

performance report summarizing their 

activities and performance at the end of 

the award period. Reports also contain 

financial management information 

regarding the way OPPE funding was 

spent by the organization. OPPE plans 

to collect this information through a 

web-based portal, which is intended to 

simplify the collection of this 

information for both the grantees and 

the OPPE personnel who process that 

information. Participants in 

programming by recipient organizations 

will be asked to complete post-activity 

surveys regarding their demographics, 

participation, and outcomes. This 

survey will be administered by grantee 

organizations through a survey platform 

created and managed by OPPE, which is 

intended to relieve the recipient 

organization of the burden of creating a 

collection mechanism, and also to 

simplify the collection and collation of 

this data. 

Description of Respondents: Local, 

State and Tribal Governments. 

Number of Respondents: 5,120. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually; 

Semi-annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 34,800.
