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 reinstatement of a previously-approved information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0010, which expired on August 31, 2011. The ICR also requests categorizing the form as a common form, 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. The SF-424 Project Abstract form and the SF-424 Key Contacts form were previously assigned to OMB control number 4040-0003. EGOV seeks to move these two instruments to the OMB control number 4040-0010. 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.

This is a request for reinstatement of a previously-approved collection, which expired on March 31, 2012, with a three-year clearance. This request also changes the information collection to a common forms host, so the burden estimate only reflects the burden of the host agency, HHS.
OIRA authorizes any Agency to begin using a Common Form associated with this ICR automatically after 5 calendar days from the date the agency's RCF including the common form was received in OIRA.
This is a request to change this information collection to a host for Common Forms. As a result, it only reflects the burden for the host agency, HHS.
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.
