Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Health and Human Services, Program Support Center 
(PSC), publishes a list of information collections it has submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance in compliance 
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) and 5 
CFR 1320.5. The following information collection was recently submitted 
to OMB:
    1. Application Packets for Real Property for Public Health 
Purposes--0937-0191--Reinstatement.
    The Department of Health and Human Services administers a program 
to convey or lease surplus real property to States and their political 
subdivisions and instrumentalities, to tax-supported institutions, and 
to nonprofit institutions to be used for health purposes. State and 
local governments and nonprofit organizations use these applications to 
apply for excess/surplus, underutilized/unutilized and off-site 
Government real property. Information in the application is used to 
determine eligibility to purchase, lease, or use property under the 
provisions of the surplus property program. The instructions have been 
reduced from six (6) packets to three (3) to streamline and consolidate 
the health and homeless application processes. The Environmental 
information form, used to evaluate potential environmental effects of a 
proposal as required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 
is being revised to provide factual data to support the response to 
each question and to leave no doubt about what conditions or adverse 
effects are being considered as well as to make it more user friendly. 
Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Governments; not-for-profit 
institutions; Total Number of Respondents: 55 per calendar year; Number 
of Responses per Respondent: one response per request; Average Burden 
per Response: 200 hours; Estimated Annual Burden: 11,000 hours.
    OMB Desk officer: Allison Eydt.
