Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects:
    Title: Financial Status Reporting Form for the Program of State 
Council on Developmental Disabilities.
    OMB No.: 098--0212.
    Description: For the program of the State Council on Developmental 
Disabilities, funds are awarded to State agencies contingent on fiscal 
requirements in Subtitle B of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance 
and Bill of Rights Act. The SF-269, ordinarily mandated in the revised 
OMB Circular A-102, provides no accounting breakouts necessary for 
proper stewardship. Consequently, the proposed streamlined form will 
substitute for the SF-269 and will allow compliance monitoring and 
proactive compliance maintenance and technical assistance.
    Respondents: State Councils and Designated State Agencies.
