Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to OMB for 
Review and Approval; Public Comment Request

AGENCY: Electronic Government Office, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the Electronic Government Office (EGOV), 
Department of Health and Human Services, has submitted an Information 
Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The ICR is for a 3-year 
extension for OMB Control Number 4040-0010. The ICR will expire on 
September 30, 2016. The 4040-0010 is composed of the following forms: 
Project Abstract; Project Performance Site Location(s); and Key 
Contacts. The ICR also requests categorizing these forms as common 
forms, 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. 
Comments submitted during the first public review of this ICR will be 
provided to OMB. OMB will accept further comments from the public on 
this ICR during the review and approval period.

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be received on or before April 25, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to [email protected] or (202) 690-
7569.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the OMB control number 4040-0010. Form is 
available at http://www.grants.gov or upon request.
    Information Collection Request Title: Project Abstract; Project 
Performance Site Location(s); Key Contacts.
    OMB No.: 4040-0010.
    Abstract: The Project Abstract; Project Performance Site 
Location(s); Key Contacts forms are used by Federal grant-making 
agencies for applicants to apply for Federal financial assistance.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Project Abstract; 
Project Performance Site Location(s); Key Contacts forms are used by 
the public to apply for Federal financial assistance in the form of 
grants. These forms are submitted to the Federal grant-making agencies 
for evaluation and review.
    Likely Respondents: Organizations and institutions seeking grants.
    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.
    HHS estimates that each of the respective forms will take 1 hour to 
complete. Once OMB approves the use of the Project Abstract; Project 
Performance Site Location(s); Key Contacts forms as common forms, 
federal agencies may request OMB approval to use this common form 
without having to publish notices and request public comments for 60 
and 30 days. Each agency must account for the burden associated with 
their use of the common form.
    EGOV 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.
