SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Periodically the DOL solicits grant 
applications by issuing a Funding Opportunity Announcement. To ensure 
grants are awarded to the applicant(s) best suited to perform the 
functions of the grant, applicants are generally required to submit a 
two-part application. The first part of DOL grant applications consists 
of submitting Standard Form 424, Application for Federal Assistance. 
The second part of a grant application usually requires a technical 
proposal demonstrating the applicant's capabilities in accordance with 
a statement of work and/or selection criteria.
    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 the OMB approves it 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 
OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
    DOL seeks PRA authorization for this information collection for 
three (3) years. OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than 
three (3) years without renewal. The DOL notes that information 
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive 
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
