OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment 
Request

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) invites the general 
public and Federal agencies to comment on the renewal without change of 
four (4) standard forms: SF-269, Financial Status Report (Long Form); 
SF-269A, Financial Status Report (Short Form); SF-272, Federal Cash 
Transactions Report; and SF-272A, Federal Cash Transactions Report. OMB 
anticipates that this will be the last renewal of these forms. By no 
later than October 1, 2009, each federal agency must transition from 
the SF-269, SF-269A, SF-272, and SF-272A to the Federal Financial 
Report (FFR), by requiring recipients to use the FFR for all financial 
reports submitted after the date it makes the transition. In making the 
transition, an agency would incorporate the requirement to use the FFR 
into terms and conditions of new and ongoing grant and cooperative 
agreement awards, State plans, and/or program regulations that specify 
financial reporting requirements.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 15, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Due to potential delays in OMB's receipt and processing of 
mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service, we encourage respondents to 
submit comments electronically to ensure timely receipt. We cannot 
guarantee that comments mailed will be received before the comment 
closing date.
    Comments may be sent via http://www.regulations.gov--a Federal E-
Government Web site that allows the public to find, review, and submit 
comments on documents that agencies have published in the Federal 
Register and that are open for comment. Simply type the form number in 
quotes in the Comment or Submission search box, click Go, and follow 
the instructions for submitting comments. Comments received by the date 
specified above will be included as part of the official record.
