Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to OMB for 
Review and Approval; Public Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Electronic Government Office (EGOV), 
Department of Health and Human Services, will submit an Information 
Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The ICR is for renewal of the 
approved information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0005, 
scheduled to expire on October 31, 2012. 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. Comments submitted during the first public 
review of this ICR will be provided to OMB. OMB will accept further 
comments from the public on this ICR during the review and approval 
period.
    Deadline: Comments on the ICR must be received within 30 days of 
the issuance of this notice.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, including the OMB control number 4040-
0005 and document identifier HHS-EGOV-17342-30D, to [email protected] or via facsimile to (202) 395-5806. Copies of 
the supporting statement and any related forms may be requested via 
email to [email protected] or by calling (202) 
690-6162.
    Information Collection Request Title: SF-424 Individual.
    Abstract: The SF-424 Individual form is the standard Federal form 
for grant applications for individuals. It replaced numerous agency-
specific forms.
    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 summarized in the table below.
    HHS estimates that the SF-424 Individual form will take 1 hour to 
complete. We expect that 1 respondent will use this form.
    Once OMB approves the use of this common form, federal agencies may 
request OMB approval to use this common form without having to publish 
notices and request public comments for 60 and 30 days. Each agency 
must account for the burden associated with their use of the common 
form.
