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, 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 reinstatement of a previously-approved
information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0011--SF-271
Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs,
which expired on October 31, 2013. 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: SF-271 Outlay Report and
Request for Reimbursement for Construction Programs.
Abstract: The SF-271 Outlay Report and Request for Reimbursement
for Construction Programs is used to request funds for all non-
construction grant programs when letters of credit or predetermined
advance methods are not used.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SF-271 is used to
request reimbursement for all construction programs. The Federal
awarding agencies and OMB use information reported on this form for
general management of the Federal assistance awards programs.
Likely Respondents: Federal grant award recipients.
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
[[Page 65963]]
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.
