used by grant awardees to request financial assistance funds for the 
purpose of reimbursement or for advance of funds.

Advance or Reimbursement form is used by grant awardees in post-award 
financial activities related to Federal financial assistance.
    Likely Respondents: Federal financial assistance awardees.
    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

    HHS estimates that the form will take 1 hour to complete each form.
    Once OMB approves the use of the SF-270 Request for Advance or 
Reimbursement form as a common form, federal agencies may request OMB 
approval to use this common form without having to publish notices and
