DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Submission for OMB Review; Administration for Children and
Families Uniform Project Description
AGENCY: Office of Administration, Office of Grants Policy,
Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is
requesting a revision of the approved ACF Uniform Project Description
(UPD) (Office of Management and Budget (OMB) # 0970-0139, expiration
March 31, 2025).
DATES: Comments due within 30 days of publication. OMB must make a
decision about the collection of information between 30 and 60 days
after publication of this document in the Federal Register. Therefore,
a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review-
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. You can
also obtain copies of the proposed collection of information by
emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e38a8d858c808c8f8f8680978a8c8da3828085cd8b8b90cd848c95"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="a7cec9c1c8c4c8cbcbc2c4d3cec8c9e7c6c4c189cfcfd489c0c8d1">[email protected]</span></a>. Identify all emailed requests by
the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Description: The proposed information
collection would revise the approved ACF UPD. The UPD provides a
uniform format for applicants to submit project information in response
to ACF discretionary Notices of Funding Opportunity. The UPD requires
applicants to describe how program objectives will be achieved and
provide a rationale for the project's budgeted costs. All ACF
discretionary grant programs are required to use the UPD.
ACF uses this information, along with other OMB-approved
information collections (Standard Forms), to evaluate and rank
applications. Use of the UPD protects the integrity of the ACF award
selection process.
The UDP has been revised as follows: (1) included a text field for
the Geographic Location standardized text, which will allow ACF program
offices to enter project-specific language; (2) under Organizational
Capacity, inserted an option to allow submission of an Audit Summary
report in lieu of a full audit report; (3) inserted a checkbox and
standardized language to request current and pending funding support;
(4) added a prior written approval requirement to Plan for Oversight of
Federal Award Funds and Activities; (5) included Memoranda of Agreement
(MOA) under Third Party Agreements; and (6) updated The Project Budget
and Budget Justification standardized language related to salary
limitation, budget preparation, fringe benefits, definition of
supplies, contractual costs, accounting for real property, the Other
Costs category, and Indirect Costs.
Respondents: Applicants responding to ACF Discretionary Notices of
Funding Opportunity.
