[Document Identifier: OS–4040–0004 

(Formerly OMB–0348–0043)] 

Grants.gov Program Management 

Office; Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

Agency: Office of the Secretary, 

Grants.gov Program Management Office, 

HHS. In compliance with the 

requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

the Grants.gov Program Management 

Office, one of the 26 E–Government 

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 

or any other 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, Revision of a currently 

approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: SF–

424 Application for Federal Assistance; 

Form/OMB No.: OS–4040–0004 

(Formerly OMB–0348–0043); 

The SF–424 Application for Federal 

Assistance (OMB control number 0348–

0043) was cleared by OMB for 

emergency use on July 31, 2003, Federal 

Register notice [68 FR 44974]. OMB has 

since assigned the responsibility for this 

government-wide standard form to the 

Grants.gov Program Management Office 

and therefore the SF–424 Application 

for Federal Assistance OMB control 

number was changed in April 2005 from 

0348–0043 to 4040–0004. 

Use: In the Federal Register notice 

published April 8, 2003 [68 FR 17090], 

OMB proposed to establish a 

government-wide standard set of data 

elements and definitions for grantrelated applications. After consultation 

with the public, OMB added four data 

elements to the existing Standard Form 

424 (SF–424), Application for Federal 

Assistance data elements and 

established the data as the standard core 

data set for use on both paper and 

electronic applications. After obtaining 

emergency clearance, July 31, 2003, 

Federal Register notice, [68 FR 44974], 

use of the standard data elements was 

implemented through the electronic 

grants application process of Grants.gov, 

and was deployed in October 2003 as 

part of the implementation of the 

Federal Financial Assistance 

Management Improvement Act of 1999 

(Pub. L. 106–107). 

OMB recognized that a transition 

period would be needed to provide 

agencies time to adapt their application 

forms and systems to the SF–424 core 

data set and to phase out the use of the 

old forms. OMB committed to a oneyear transition period and further 

committed to reevaluate the data set at 

the end of the transition period. 

Following the expiration of the 

transition period, a cross-agency 

working group recommended revisions 

to the SF–424 core data set and form. 

Based on these recommendations, the 

Grants.gov Program office now proposes 

the addition of the following three new 

standard data elements to the SF–424 

data set and form: Requesting entity’s 

Province to collect non-US geographic 

subdivision data for international 

address purposes, if applicable. 

Requesting entity’s Point of Contact’s 

Organizational Affiliation, if applicable. 

Requesting entity’s Point of Contact’s 

Title, if applicable. 

The Grants.gov Program office further 

proposes deletion of the requesting 

entity’s designation of construction or 

non-construction type of submission 

data element. Also proposed are nondata collection related changes, i.e., 

renaming of data elements. These 

changes are presented in the supporting 

statement found on the HHS Web site at 

http://www.hhs.gov/oirm/infocollect/ 

pending. 

Federal agencies will not be required 

to collect all of the information included 

in the data set. The agency will identify 

the data that must be provided by 

applicants through instructions that will 

accompany the application package. 

The efforts to address potential future 

revisions to the SF–424A and SF–424C 

budget forms and categories and to 

evaluate the SF–424B and SF–424D 

assurance language are separate efforts 

to be undertaken by the Pub. L. 106/107 

working groups and have no impact 

upon the proposed revisions to the SF–

424 data set or form. 

An estimate of the total burden was 

submitted during the first information 

collection package for the SF–424 on 

April 8, 2003, Federal Register notice 

[68 FR 17090]. The estimate has been 

updated based on the Paperwork 

Reduction Act Worksheets (OMB 83-C) 

received from the agencies. Collectively, 

the agencies plan to receive 142,223 

applications annually and estimate that 

it takes applicants one hour on average 

to complete each application. 

Cumulatively, the agencies report the 

total burden to applicants to be 146,758 

hours. 

Frequency: Recordkeeping, Reporting, 

on occasion. 

Affected: Federal, State, Local and 

Tribal governments; farms; non-profit 

institutions, and other for-profit. 

Total Annual Respondents: 77,576; 

Total Annual Responses: 142,223; 

Average Burden Per Response: 1 hour;
