Emergency revision of a previously 

approved collection, with change; 

comments requested. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: COPS 

Budget Detail Worksheets. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

None. U.S. Department of Justice Office

Services. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Law enforcement 

agencies and other public and private 

entities that apply for COPS Office 

grants or cooperative agreements will be 

asked to complete the COPS Budget 

Detail Worksheets. The COPS Budget 

Detail Worksheets are the result of a

standardization as required under the 

grant streamlining requirements of 

Public Law 106–107, the Federal 

Financial Assistance Management 

Improvement Act of 1999, as well as the 

President’s Management Agenda Egrants Initiative. The new worksheets 

standardize the budget forms across all

applicants ability to use the same form 

for multiple programs, thus reducing the 

need for applicants to learn how to 

complete multiple differing forms.

estimated for an average respondent to

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: There are an estimated
