DOL Generic Solution for Funding Opportunity Announcements

Periodically the Department of Labor (DOL or the Department) solicits applications for grants through issuing a “Funding Opportunity Announcement” (FOA). To ensure grants are awarded to the applicants best suited to perform the functions of the grant, applicants are generally required to submit a two-part application. The first part of DOL’s grant applications consists of submitting the Standard Form 424 (SF-424), “Application for Federal Assistance,” for which approval is obtained under Control Number 4040-0004. The second part of a grant application usually requires a technical proposal demonstrating the applicant’s capabilities in accordance with a statement of work and/or selection criteria. Under OMB Circular A-102, Section C, heads of Executive departments are instructed to obtain Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (codified at 44 U.S.C. § 3501, et seq., with regulations at 5 C.F.R. Part 1320) before collecting information associated with grants that is “different or additional” to the information collected on approved standard forms (e.g., SF-424, etc.).
