DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Generic Solicitation for Grant 

Applications 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collection of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Department of Labor is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed new 

collection for the Generic Solicitation 

for Grant Applications. A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

(ICR) can be obtained by contacting the 

office listed below in the addressee 

section of this notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address’s section below on or before 

December 16, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department is requesting 

approval for a generic Solicitation for 

Grant Application (SGA) form for 

information collection requirements for 

SGAs that extend beyond what is 

collected on currently approved 

standard forms. OMB approval of this 

generic SGA form will assist the 

Department to carry out its 

responsibilities under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act by accurately accounting 

for the public burden associated with 

grant applications through the 

promotion of a common structure for 

reporting the information collection 

requirements contained in DOL’s SGAs. 

Periodically, the Department of Labor 

(DOL or the Department) solicits 

applications for grants through issuing a 

‘‘Solicitation for Grant Applications’’ or 

‘‘SGA.’’ To ensure that grants are 

awarded to the applicant best suited to 

perform the functions of the grant, 

applicants are generally required to 

submit a two-part application. The first 

part of DOL’s grant applications consists 

of submitting the Standard Form 424 

(SF–424), ‘‘Application for Federal 

Assistance.’’ The second part of a grant 

application usually requires a technical 

proposal demonstrating the applicant’s 

capabilities in accordance with a 

statement of work and/or selection 

criteria. 

The information collected in response 

to solicitations for grant applications 

has been and will be used by the 

Department of Labor for awarding grants 

to the applicants most suited for 

fulfilling the mission of the grant. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• 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; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.
