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.
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: [email protected] or (202) 690-7569.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting
information, please include the document identifier HHS-EGOV-21478-60D
for reference.
Information Collection Request Title: SF-424 D Assurances for
Construction Programs.
Abstract: SF-424 D Assurances for Construction Programs is used as
certification of assurances by the grant applicant when requesting
funds for construction grant programs. Need and 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 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.
