Proposed Project

    SF-424 Project/Performance Site Location(s)--OMB No. 4040-0010.
    Office: Grants.gov.

Abstract

    The SF-424 Project/Performance Site Location(s) form collection is 
an OMB approved collection (4040-0010). This form is utilized by 26 
Federal grant-making agencies. The 4040-0010 collection expired on 
August 31, 2011. The Grants.gov Program Management Office requests a 
three-year clearance of this form. No changes are being made to this 
form.
    SF-424 collections currently in use do not collect all of the FFATA 
required data elements from applicants. The SF-424 Project/Performance 
Site Location(s) form is a part of Grants.gov's mission to reduce 
duplication of similar or identical forms and data sets, establish 
consistency in data collection processes across Federal agencies, and 
comply with the requirements of FFATA. This information collection also 
implements streamlining and simplification provisions of PL 106-107 and 
provides support for the President's Management Agenda to allow 
applicants for Federal grants to apply

for grant funds online. A cross-agency work group developed the 
proposed SF-424 Project/Performance Site Location(s) form and data set 
that will serve as a common form for various grant programs.
    This form will be mandatory for all of the 4040 collections except 
for 4040-0005 (Individual). The form includes the fields for the 
following FFATA required data elements: the primary location of 
performance and the unique identifier (DUNS number) of the organization 
performing the project. The SF-424 Individual (4040-0005) does not 
require a DUNS number as individual applicants are not required to have 
DUNS numbers.
