SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DOL, as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public and Federal agencies an
opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of
information before submitting them to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for final approval. This program helps to ensure requested
data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection requirements can be properly
assessed.
The purpose of this ICR is to notify Federal award recipients of
the necessity to submit the required data on the Closeout Documents,
which consist of the Detailed Statement of Cost (DSC), Government
Property Close-Out Inventory Certification, and Property Inventory
Listing (if applicable).
These forms help to ensure grant award recipients provide a final
documented accounting of activities conducted under the Federal award
by allowing funds to be traced to a level of expenditure for
establishing that such funds have been used in accordance with Federal
statues, regulations and terms and conditions of the award. The Uniform
Guidance (31.U.S.C. 503), last amended 10/18/2021, 2 CFR 200.302, 2
[[Page 27188]]
CFR 200.308, 2 CFR 200.313, 2 CFR 200.316 and 2 CFR 200.344 and the
terms and conditions of all DOL awards, authorize this information
collection.
This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and
the public is generally not required to respond to an information
collection, unless it is approved by OMB under the PRA and displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6.
Interested parties are encouraged to provide comments to the
contact shown in the ADDRESSES section. Comments must be written to
receive consideration, and they will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final ICR. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments should mention 1205-0NEW. Submitted
comments will also be a matter of public record for this ICR and posted
on the internet, without redaction. DOL encourages commenters not to
include personally identifiable information, confidential business
data, or other sensitive statements/information in any comments.
DOL is particularly interested in comments that:
<bullet> Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
<bullet> Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
<bullet> Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
<bullet> Minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology, (e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses).
