DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request

AGENCY: Electronic Government Office, 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 a 3-year renewal of a previously approved 
information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0008--SF-424 C 
Budget Information for Construction Programs, which expired on June 30, 
2014. 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 by calling 
(202) 690-7569.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Information Collection Clearance 
staff, [email protected] or (202) 690-7569.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the document identifier HHS-EGOV-21479-60D 
for reference.
    Information Collection Request Title: SF-424 C Budget Information 
for Construction Programs.
    Abstract: SF-424 C Budget Information for Construction Programs is 
used to request funds for construction grant programs.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SF-424 C Budget 
Information for Construction Programs is used to request funds for 
construction grant programs. The Federal awarding agencies use 
information submitted on this form for award determination of the 
Federal assistance awards programs.
    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.
