I. Formation Collection Requests

FMCS is seeking comments on the

following information collection

requests contained in FMCS agency

forms.

Agency: Federal Mediation and

Conciliation Service.

Form Number: OMB No. 3076–0006.

Type of Request: Extension of

Expiration date of a currently approved

collection without any change in the

substance or method of collection.

Affected Entities: Potential

applicants/grantees who received our

grant application kit. Also, applicants/

grantees who have received a grant from

FMCS.

Frequency: a. Three of the forms, the

SF–424, LM–6, and LM–9 are submitted

at the applicant/grantee’s discretion.

b. To conduct the quarterly

submissions, LM–7/LM–8 forms are

used. Less than quarterly reports would

deprive FMCS of the opportunity to

provide prompt technical assistance to

deal with those problems identified in

the report.

c. Once per application. The LM–3 is

the only form to which a ‘‘similar

information’’ requirement could apply.

That form takes the requirement into

consideration by accepting recent audit

reports in lieu of applicant completion

of items C2 through 9 and items D1

through 3.

Burden: SF–424 Application for

Federal Assistance, SF–269a (LM–6)

Request for Advance or

Reimbursement—30 minutes, (LM–8)

Project Performance—60 minutes, SF–

270a (LM–7) Financial Status Report—

30 minutes, (LM–9) FMCS Grants

Program Evaluation Questionnaire—60

minutes, and (LM–3) Accounting

System and Financial Capability

Questionnaire—60 minutes.

Abstract: Except for the FMCS Forms

LM–3 and LM–9, the forms under

consideration herein are either required

or recommended in OMB Circulars. The

two exceptions are non-recurring forms,

the former a questionnaire sent only to

non-governmental potential grantees

and the latter a questionnaire sent only

to former grantees for voluntary

completion and submission.

The collected information is used by

FMCS to determine annual applicant

suitability, to monitor quarterly grant

project status, and for on-going program

evaluation. If the information were not

collected, there could be no accounting

for the activities of the program. Actual

use has been the same as intended use.

II. Requests for Comments

FMCS solicits comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility.

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimates of the burden of the

proposed collection of information.

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected.

(iv) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including the use of

appropriate automated electronic

collection technologies or other forms of

information technology, e.g. permitting

electronic and fax submission of

responses.

III. The Public Docket

The official record is the paper

records maintained at the address in

ADDRESSES at the beginning of this

document. FMCS will transfer all

electronically received comments into

printed form as they are received. These

records are available for inspection from

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through

Friday, excluding legal holidays.

Dated: July 1, 1998.
