SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Periodically the DOL solicits grant 
applications by issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement. To ensure 
grants are awarded to the applicant(s) best suited to perform the 
functions of the grant, applicants are generally required to submit a 
two-part application. The first part of DOL grant applications consists 
of submitting Standard Form 424, Application for Federal Assistance. 
The second part of a grant application usually requires a technical 
proposal demonstrating the applicant's capabilities in accordance with 
a statement of work and/or selection criteria. This information 
collection is subject to the PRA.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless the OMB approves it and displays a currently valid 
OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions 
of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to 
comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3)
