DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request

AGENCY: Electronic Government Office, Department of Health and Human 
Services.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Grants.gov (EGOV), Department of Health and 
Human Services, announces plans to submit an Information Collection 
Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB). The ICR is for a 3 year renewal of a previously-approved 
information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0006--SF-424 D 
Assurances for Construction Programs, which expired on June 30, 2014. 
The ICR also requests categorizing the form as a common form, meaning 
HHS will only request approval for its own use of the form rather than 
aggregating the burden estimate across all Federal Agencies as was done 
for previous actions on this OMB control number. Prior to submitting 
that ICR to OMB, EGOV seeks comments from the public regarding the 
burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR.

DATES: The 60-day Comment Period closed on January 5, 2015. No comments 
were received. Comments on the ICR must be received on or before March 
13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e78283c984868b8e8a8680a78f8f94c9808891"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6a0f0e44090b0603070b0d2a020219440d051c">[email protected]</span></a> or (202) 690-
7569.

    Grants.gov specifically requests comments on (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.
