DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


Agency Information Collection Request; 30-Day Public Comment 
Request, Grants

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.
    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS), 
Department of Health and Human Services, is publishing the following 
summary of a proposed information collection request for public 
comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this 
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, 
including any of the following subjects: (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. To obtain copies of the supporting statement and any 
related forms for the proposed paperwork collections referenced above, 
e-mail your request, including your address, phone number, OMB number, 
and OS document identifier, to [email protected], or call 
the Reports Clearance Office on (202) 690-6162. Written comments and 
recommendations for the proposed information collection must be 
received with 30 days of this notice directly to the OS OMB Desk 
Officer. All comments must be faxed to OMB at 202-395-6974.
    Title: SF-424 Project/Performance Site Location(s)--OMB No. 4040--
New--Grants.gov.
    Proposed Project: The SF-424 Project/Performance Site Location(s) 
form is a new form based on the Research & Related Project/Performance 
Site Location(s) form currently in use with the SF-424 (R&R) family 
(OMB No. 4040-0001). The new form will be used to meet the requirements 
of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) 
(P.L. 109-282). FFATA requires the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) to establish a publicly available, online database containing 
information about entities that receive Federal grants, loans, and 
contracts. The new form will assist agencies in collecting a unique 
recipient entity identification number, a required data element by 
FFATA. In addition, the form will be implemented as a required form 
within the following SF-424 4040 collections that have applications for 
federal assistance and

are cleared under the following OMB numbers: 4040-0001 (R & R); OMB No. 
4040-0002 (Mandatory); 4040-0003 (Short Organizational); and 4040-0004 
(Core).
    The form will be optional for the OMB No. 4040-0005 (Individual) 
collection. All SF-424 forms and data sets support the Federal Grants 
Streamlining Initiative (Pub. L. 106-107) by establishing consistency 
among Federal grant making agencies in their data collection processes. 
The revisions include removal of ``Research & Related'' from the form 
title and addition of a mandatory DUNS number field in the primary and 
additional performance location sections. A 3-year clearance is 
requested. Frequency of data collection varies by Federal agency.
