DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Public Comment Request
AGENCY: Electronic Government Office, Department of Health and Human
Services.
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, announces plans to submit an
Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). The ICR is to reinstate the use of the
previously approved information collection, Project Abstract Summary,
assigned OMB control number 0980-0204 which expired on 11/30/2011, and
to reinstate this information collection to 4040-0010 with a 3 year
clearance. 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: Form is available upon request.
Information Collection Request Title: Project Abstract Summary.
OMB No.: 4040-0010.
Abstract: The Project Abstract Summary provides the Federal grant-
making agencies a simplified alternative to the Standard Form 424 data
set and form. Agencies may use the Project Abstract Summary for grant
programs not required to collect all the data that
[[Page 65960]]
is required on the SF-424 core data set and form.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Project Abstract
Summary is used by the public to apply for Federal financial assistance
in the forms of grants. These forms are submitted to the Federal grant-
making agencies for evaluation and review.
Likely Respondents: Organizations and institutions seeking grants.
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 for the
Department of Health and Human Services estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

EGOV 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.
