This emergency ICR is approved as revised by HHS for 6 months and covers only the (a) letters of intent and (b) the application portion of the FOA. ONC shall promptly begin the process of submitting an ICR for the post-award reporting requirements so that emergency processing is not necessary and the public has a chance to comment on them before they are issued. ONC is reminded that all burden changes that stem from statute should be captured as such. Consistent with approvals for prior ICRs, ONC also understands that any additional questions beyond those contained in SF-424 require separate approval. Finally, ONC is reminded that the FOA itself should be submitted as part of the ICR package.
