Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices 52101 

application process of Grants.gov, 

which was deployed in October 2003 

and is part of the implementation of the 

Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999 

(Public Law 106–107). The standard 

data set replaces numerous agency data 

sets and reduces the administrative 

burden placed on the grants community. 

Federal agencies are not required to 

collect all of the information included 

in the proposed data set. The agency 

will identify the data that must be 

provided by applicants through 

instructions that will accompany the 

application package. 

Comments sent to OMB by the public, 

questioned the need to collect the Social 

Security Number (SSN) for the Project 

Director and/or the Primary Contact/ 

Grants Administrator. Grants.gov 

responded to this comment by revising 

the application cover page to indicate 

that SSN is optional and adding the 

following statement, ‘‘Disclosure of SSN 

is voluntary. Please see the application 

package instructions for the agency’s 

authority and routine uses of the data’’. 

In addition, OMB has also requested 

that Grants.gov, in consultation with 

other agencies, investigate options for a 

unique identifier other than SSN. 

Grants.gov plans to address this 

condition through its newly formed 

Agency User Group. 

The estimate of the total burden of the 

collection information has been updated 

based on the Paperwork Reduction Act 

Worksheets (OMB 83–C) received from 

the agencies. Currently, six agencies 

plan to use the SF–424 (Short) in lieu 

of the SF–424 for eligible grant 

programs. Collectively, the agencies 

plan to receive 8,549 applications 

annually and estimate that it takes 

applicants 25 minutes on average to 

complete each application. 

Cumulatively, these organizations report 

the total burden to applicants to be 

3,652 hours. 

Frequency: Recordkeeping, Reporting, 

on occasion. 

Affected: Federal, State, Local and 

Tribal governments; farms; non-profit 

institutions, and other for-profit. 

Total Annual Respondents: 8,276. 

Total Annual Responses: 8,549. 

Average Burden Per Response: 25 

minutes.

In compliance with the requirement 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

the Grants.gov Program Management

initiatives, managed by the Department 

of Health and Human Services is 

publishing the following summary of 

proposed collection for public 

comment. Interested individuals are 

invited to send comments regarding any 

aspect of this collection of information 

including any of the following subjects: 

(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. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: Regular. 

Title of Information Collection: SF–

424 Individual. 

Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–0005. 

Use: On March 24, 2005, the 

Grants.gov Program Management Office, 

one of the 26 E-Government initiatives, 

managed by HHS, published the 

proposed the SF–424 Application for 

Federal Assistance, Individual (SF–424 

I) collection for public comment in the 

Federal Register (70 FR 15090). 

Interested individuals were invited to 

send comments regarding any aspect of 

this collection of information. This 

notice indicates request for extension of 

OMB clearance for the SF–424 (I), and 

also responds to comments received on 

the March 24, 2005, Federal Register 

notice. 

The SF–424 (I) is the governmentwide data set and application cover 

page for use by Federal grant-making 

agencies that award grants to 

individuals. The SF–424 (I) is currently 

available for use as part of the electronic 

application process of Grants.gov, 

which was deployed in October 2003 

and is part of the implementation of the 

Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999 

(Public Law 106–107). The standard 

data set replaces numerous agency data 

sets and reduces the administrative 

burden placed on the grants community. 

Federal agencies are not required to 

collect all of the information included 

in the proposed data set. The agency 

will identify the data that must be 

provided by applicants through 

instructions that will accompany the 

application package. 

Comments sent to OMB by the public, 

questioned the need to collect the Social 

Security Number (SSN). Grants.gov 

responded to this comment by revising 

the application cover page to indicate 

that SSN is optional and adding the 

following statement, ‘‘Disclosure of SSN 

is voluntary. Please see the application 

package instructions for the agency’s 

authority and routine uses of the data’’. 

In addition, OMB has also requested 

that Grants.gov, in consultation with 

other agencies, investigate options for a 

unique identifier other than SSN. 

Grants.gov plans to address this 

condition through its newly formed 

Agency User Group. 

The estimate of the total burden of the 

collection information has been updated 

based on the Paperwork Reduction Act 

Worksheets (OMB 83–C) received from 

the agencies. Currently, five agencies 

plan to use the SF–424 (I) instead of the 

SF–424 for eligible grant programs. 

Collectively, the agencies plan to 

receive 6,949 applications annually and 

estimate that it takes applicants 25 

minutes on average to complete each 

52102 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices 

application. Cumulatively, these 

organizations report the total burden to 

applicants to be 2,863 hours.
