DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Public Comment Request
AGENCY: Electronic Government Office, Department of Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Grants.gov (EGOV), Department of Health and Human Services, announces plans to submit an Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The ICR is for reinstatement of a previously-approved information collection assigned OMB control number 4040-0012--SF-270: Request for Advance or Reimbursement, which expired on October 31, 2013. The ICR also requests categorizing the form as a common form, meaning HHS will only request approval for its own use of the form rather than aggregating the burden estimate across all Federal Agencies as was done for previous actions on this OMB control number. Prior to submitting that ICR to OMB, EGOV seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be received on or before January 5, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to Ed.calimag@hhs.gov or (202) 690-
7569.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ed.Calimag@hhs.gov or (202) 690-7569.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form is available upon request.
Information Collection Request Title: Request for Advance or Reimbursement.
Abstract: The SF-270 is used to request funds for all non-
construction grant programs when letters of credit or predetermined advance methods are not used.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The SF-270 is used to request funds for all non-construction grant programs when letters of credit or predetermined advance methods are not used. The ICR also requests categorizing the form as a common form, meaning HHS will only request approval for its own use of the form rather than aggregating the burden estimate across all Federal Agencies as was done for previous actions on this OMB control number. The Federal awarding agencies and OMB use information reported on this form for general management of the Federal assistance awards programs.
Likely Respondents: Federal grant award recipients.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions, to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information, to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and review the collection of information, and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.

Grants.gov specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.
