Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: ACF Uniform Project Description.
    OMB No.: 0970-0139.
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) has 
more than 50 discretionary grant programs. The proposed information 
collection form would be a uniform discretionary application form 
eligible for use by grant applicants to submit project information in 
response to ACF program announcements. ACF would use this information, 
along with other OMB-approved information collections, to evaluate and 
rank applicants and protect the integrity of the grantee selection 
process. All ACF discretionary grant programs would be eligible but not 
required to use this application form. The application consists of 
general information and instructions; the Standard Form 424 series that 
requests basic information, budget information and assurances; the 
Project Description requesting the applicant to describe how these 
objectives will be achieved; along with assurances and certifications. 
Guidance for the content of information requested in the Project 
Description is found in OMB Circular A-102 and 45 CFR Part 74.
    Respondents: Applicants for ACF Discretionary Grant Programs.
