Title: USDA Generic Solution for Solicitation for Funding
Opportunity Announcements.
OMB Control Number: 0503-0028.
Summary of Collection: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the public and
Federal agencies an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and
continuing information collections before submitting them to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB).
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.
Periodically USDA solicits grant applications on <a href="http://grants.gov">http://grants.gov</a> by
issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement, Request for Applications,
Notice of Funding Announcement, Notice of Solicitation of Applications,
<a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a> announcement, or other funding announcement type. To ensure
grants are awarded to the applicant(s) best suited to perform the
functions of the grant, applicants are generally required to submit an
application. The first part of USDA grant applications consists of
submitting the application form(s), which includes the Standard Form
424, Application for Federal Assistance and may include additional
standard grant application forms. The second part of a grant
application usually requires a technical proposal demonstrating the
applicant's capabilities in accordance with a statement of work or
selection criteria and other related information as specified in the
funding announcement. Following the grant award, the grant awardee may
also be required to provide progress reports or additional documents.
Need and Use of the Information: The information collected in
response to solicitations for grant applications has been and will be
used by the USDA for issuing grants to the applicants most suited for
fulfilling the mission of the grant.
Description of Respondents: State, Local, and Tribal Governments;
Private Sector--businesses or other for-profits and not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents: 1,000,000.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
Total Burden Hours: 20,000,000.
