Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Public Comment Request
AGENCY: Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
[[Page 65962]]
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 A
Budget Information for Non-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.
Additionally, Grants.gov requests a change to the Application
Instructions for this form. Application instructions are available from
the Grants.gov program management office. The point of contact is Ed
Calimag ([email protected]).
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be received on or before January 5,
2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to [email protected] or (202) 690-
7569.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information Collection Clearance
staff, [email protected] or (202) 690-7569.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form is available upon request.
Information Collection Request Title: SF-424 A Budget Information
for Non-Construction Programs.
Abstract: SF-424 A Budget Information for Non-Construction Programs
is used to request funds for non-construction grant programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SF-424 A Budget
Information for Non-Construction Programs is used to request funds for
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 summarized in the table below.

Grants.gov specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
