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 4040-0013--SF-LLL--
Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, which expired on December 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: Disclosure of Lobbying
Activities.
Abstract: The SF-LLL is the standard disclosure reporting form for
lobbying paid for with non-Federal funds, as required by the Byrd
Amendment, as amended by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SF-LLL is the
standard disclosure reporting form for lobbying paid for with non-
Federal funds, as required by the Byrd Amendment, as amended by the
Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. The form is used by persons who
request or receive a Federal contract, grant, cooperative agreements,
loan or a Federal commitment to insure or guarantee a loan. 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 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.
