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 reinstatement of a previously-approved 
information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0011--SF-271 
Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs, 
which expired on October 31, 2013. 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#c0a5a4eea3a1aca9ada1a780a8a8b3eea7afb6"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="fe9b9ad09d9f9297939f99be96968dd0999188">[email protected]</span></a> or (202) 690-
7569.

staff, <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7f361119100d121e0b161011513c1013131a1c0b1610113c131a1e0d1e111c1a3f17170c51181009"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="84cdeae2ebf6e9e5f0edebeaaac7ebe8e8e1e7f0edebeac7e8e1e5f6e5eae7e1c4ececf7aae3ebf2">[email protected]</span></a> or (202) 690-6162.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form is available upon request.
    Information Collection Request Title: SF-271 Outlay Report and 
Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs.
    Abstract: The SF-271 Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement 
for Construction Programs is used to request funds for all non-
construction grant programs when letters of credit or predetermined 
advance methods are not used.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SF-271 is used to 
request reimbursement for all construction programs. The Federal 
awarding agencies and OMB use information reported on this form for 
general management of the Federal assistance awards programs.
    Likely Respondents: Federal grant award recipients.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and 
review the collection of information, and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

    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.
