SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Organizational Information.
OMB Control Number: 0524-0026.
Expiration Date of Current Approval: 3/31/2025.
Type of Request: Notice of intent to extend for three years and
revise a previously approved information collection.
Abstract: NIFA has primary responsibility for providing connection
between the Federal and State components of a broad-based, national
agricultural research, extension, and education system. Focused on
national issues, its purpose is to represent the Secretary of
Agriculture and carry out the intent of Congress by administering
capacity and grant funds appropriated for agricultural research,
extension, and education. Before awards can be made, certain
information is required from applicants to effectively assess the
potential recipient's capacity to manage Federal funds.
The Organizational Information Form enables NIFA to determine that
the applicants recommended for awards will be responsible recipients of
Federal funds.
The information requested from the applicant pertains to the
organizational and financial management of the potential grantee. This
form and the attached applicant documents provide NIFA with information
such as the legal name of the organization; certification that the
organization has the legal authority to accept Federal funding;
identification and signatures of the organization's key officials; the
organization's policies for employee compensation and benefits;
evidence of equipment insurance; the organization's policies on
subcontracting with other organizations; evidence of the financial
condition of the organization; and certification that the organization
is not delinquent on Federal taxes. NIFA considers all this information
prior to award, to determine the grantee is both managerially and
fiscally responsible. This information is submitted to NIFA on a one-
time basis and updated accordingly. If material changes occur within
the organization, the grantee must submit revised information.
NIFA is proposing to update the form to ensure that it reflects the
latest statutory and regulatory requirements, including updates to 2
CFR Part 200--Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. NIFA also proposes to rename the
form to the ``Organizational Information Form,'' and update the format
of the form itself to improve accessibility.
Estimate of Burden: The total annual estimated burden for this
information collection is 945 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 150.
Annual responses: 150.
Average time to complete each response: 6.3 hours.
Burden hours: 945.
Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to 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.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request to OMB for approval. All comments will become a matter of
public record.
Obtaining a Copy of the Information Collection: A copy of the
information collection and related instructions may be obtained free of
charge by contacting Laura Givens as directed above.
Done at Washington, DC, this day of October 1, 2024.

Associate Director for Programs, National Institute of Food and
Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
