Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

Title: Financial Status Reporting Form (SF-269) with Supplemental Form (ADD-02) for Developmental Disabilities Council Program.

OMB No.: 0980-0212.

Description: Developmental Disabilities Council Program funds are awarded contingent on fiscal requirements in Part B of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The SF- 269, mandated in the revised OMB Circular A-102, provides no breakouts necessary for proper stewardship. The proposed alternative would breakout the necessary information, but would do so in a consolidated manner that makes reporting easier. It will allow proactive compliance monitoring by the Government to catch problems early.

Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
