Short Statement: This is an existing collection in use without a valid OMB control number. NIFA grant programs support the annual 4-H Conference, which requires the registration forms in this collection. In the process of reviewing the current 4-H procedures, it was discovered that NIFA did not have an approved OMB Control number for the required conference registration forms. As soon as this became apparent, NIFA immediately began the ICR process to bring this information collection into compliance with the PRA.
