Despite the form being terminated in 2015, federal agencies continued to use the form and did not report burden hours. Therefore, Grants.gov did not have a baseline of previous burden hours to use in the calculations for this ICR. Grants.gov used the calculation of 3,467 based on the number of submissions of the form for FY2017.
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 form is used by multiple Federal agencies in grant applications. Burden hours shall be reported only for HHS. All other agencies are responsible for reporting their own burden hours.
