A uniform grant application package
for non-entitlement discretionary grant programs is needed to
evaluate and rank applicants and protect the integrity of the
grantee selection process.
This is a revision with change
to the currently approved information collection. The current OMB
inventory for this collection is 472,071 burden hours and 1,500,000
annual responses over a three-year period and 314,714 total annual
responses remaining and 1,036,532 total annual burden hours
remaining for future ICR submissions. With this approval of the
primary package, FNS is seeking 463,468 burden hours (315,797
pre-award; 146,495 post-award reporting and 1,175 recordkeeping
burden hours) and 59,296 total annual responses (7,066 pre-award,
total annual responses for reporting; 5,223 post award total annual
responses for reporting and 47,007 total annual responses for
recordkeeping).
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.
