DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request

AGENCY: 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 4040-0003--SF424--
Short Organizational, which expired on July 30, 2011. 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: Information Collection Clearance 
staff, [email protected] or (202) 690-7569.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form is available upon request.
    Information Collection Request Title: SF-424 Short Organizational 
Form.
    Abstract: The SF-424 Short Organizational Form provides the Federal 
grant-making agencies a simplified alternative to the Standard Form 424 
data set and form. Agencies may use the SF-424 Short Organizational 
Form for grant programs not required to collect all the data that is 
required on the SF-424 core data set and form.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: To obtain Federal grants 
funds, applicant organizations must apply to the Federal agency or 
organization responsible for administering the grant program. The SF-
424 Short Organizational Form will be used by applicants to apply for 
Federal grants and for Federal agencies to review submissions for 
Federal grants funds.
    Likely Respondents: Federal grant applicants.
    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.
