A generic Solicitation for Grant Application (SGA) form for information collection requirements for SGAs that extend beyond what is collected on currently approved standards forms.
Hours adjusted back to baseline so hours assigned to each SGA can be deducted resulting in an accurate tally of hours as compared to burden threshold originally approved by OMB on 09/08/2006(ICR Reference No. 200603-1205-002). Note: The NOA stated 119,312 hours; however, item 12 of the supporting statements requested 115,000 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
