Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting 

Requirements Under Emergency 

Review by the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) 

Title: Grant Application Data 

Summary (GADS). 

OMB No.: 0970–0328. 

Description: The purpose of this 

request is to obtain an emergency OMB 

clearance of the Grant Application Data 

Summary (GADS) form to ensure 

information collected from all FY09 

ANA grant applicants (in March 2009) 

is accurate. 

The GADS collects information from 

applicants seeking grants from the 

Administration for Native Americans 

(ANA). ANA awards annual grants in 

nine competitive areas. Previously, 

ANA collected information using the 

GADS form for 4 competitive areas, not 

9. The GADS form, which is part of the 

ANA discretionary grant application 

package, has been revised to comply 

with required changes made to the ADA 

FY09 Program Announcements (PAs). 

The PA5 were changed to comply with 

a new policy established by ACF 

requiring that subcategories within a PA 

be broken down into a stand-alone PA. 

On 12/5/08, ANA published nine PAs to 

support this new requirement for 

separate PA5; it was necessary for ANA 

to change the GADS form to reflect the 

new PA5. Below are the changes to the 

GADS form: (please select relevant topic
