Construction Programs is used as 

certification of assurances by the grant

Proposed Use of the Information: The 

SF–424 D Assurances for Construction 

Programs form is used as certification of 

assurances by the grant applicant when 

requesting funds for non-construction 

grant programs. The Federal awarding 

agencies use information submitted on 

this form for award determination of the 

Federal assistance awards programs. 

Likely Respondents: Federal grant 

applicants. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions, to 

develop, acquire, install and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information, to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information, and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are

TOTAL ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS 

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Grants.gov 

(EGOV), Department of Health and 

Human Services, announces plans to 

submit an Information Collection 

Request (ICR), described below, to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). The ICR is for a 3 year renewal 

of a previously-approved information 

collection assigned OMB control 

number 4040–0006–SF–424 D 

Assurances for Construction Programs, 

which expired on June 30, 2014. The 

ICR also requests categorizing the form 

as a common form, meaning HHS will 

only request approval for its own use of 

the form rather than aggregating the 

burden estimate across all Federal 

Agencies as was done for previous 

actions on this OMB control number. 

Prior to submitting that ICR to OMB, 

EGOV seeks comments from the public 

regarding the burden estimate, below, or 

any other aspect of the ICR.
