The proposed
information collection is disapproved on the grounds that it was
submitted as an incomplete package and that it solicits unnecessary
information. The existing approval for items in the package that
have previously been assigned OMB No. 3076-0006 will continue
through 09/86. We will reconsider our disapproval of the grantee
evaluation questionnaire, however, if FMCS submits a new paperwork
package consisting of 3 copies of the following: A new SF 83. A new
supporting statement with revisions in items 12 and 13 that break
down the costs and burden hours associated with each item in the
"FMCS Grants Program Package." An "FMCS Grants Post project Grantee
Evaluation" revised to eliminate the question in Section B
regarding policy changes and the 35 percent threshhold in all 3
subparts of question number 2 in SEction C. And copies of all forms
currently included in the "FMCS GRants Program Package." This
action is consistent with our telephone conversation of 01/07/85
with Lee Buddendeck of FMCS and Mr. Buddendeck's request for
written instruction on proper submission of this paperwork. We also
suggest changing the title of the paperwork package to "FMCS Grants
Program and Grant Evaluation Package" to more clearly and concisely
describe its contents.
