Food and Nutrition Service

    Title: Uniform Grant Application for Non-Entitlement Discretionary 
Grants.
    OMB Control Number: 0584-0512.
    Summary of Collection: The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has a 
number of non-entitlement discretionary grant programs to collect the 
information from grant applicants needed to evaluate and rank 
applicants and protect the integrity of the grantee selection process. 
All FNS discretionary grant programs will be eligible but not required 
to use the uniform grant application package. The authorities for these 
grants vary. The term ``grant'' in this submission refers only to non-
entitlement discretionary competitive and non-competitive grants or 
cooperative agreements. The uniform grant application package will 
include general information and instructions; requirements for the 
program narrative statement describing how the grant goals, objectives, 
and outcomes will be reached, as well as a description of the budget; 
the Standard Forms SF-424 series, and SF-LLL, which request basic 
information, budget information, and disclosure of lobbying activities 
certification, respectively. In addition, grantees must submit SF-906, 
Grant Program Accounting System and Financial Capability Questionnaire. 
Grantees will also be required to submit Standard Form SF-425, Federal 
Financial Report form, and the FNS-908, Performance Progress Report 
form.
    If FNS decides to use the uniform grant application package, FNS 
will note in the grant solicitation that applicants must use the 
uniform grant application package and that the information collection 
has already been approved by OMB. If FNS chooses not to use the uniform 
grant application package or finds it necessary for grant applicants to 
submit extra information not included in the uniform package, FNS will 
issue a notice of at least 30 days inviting public comments on its plan 
to gather different or additional information be making a grant 
solicitation, unless this has already been addressed in earlier 
published notices.
    Need and Use of the Information: The primary users of the 
information collected from the applicant are FNS and other Federal 
staff who will serve on a panel to systematically review, evaluate, and 
approve the competitive and non-competitive grant/cooperative agreement 
applications and recommend the applicants most likely to meet program 
objectives and most responsive to the solicitation. The selection 
criteria will be contained in the Request for Application package. 
Without this information, FNS will not have adequate data to select 
appropriate grantees or evaluate which grants should be continued or 
monitor financial reporting requirements.
    Description of Respondents: State, Local, or Tribal Government; 
Business or other for-profit; Not for profit institutions.
    Number of Respondents: 405,231.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: annually, one time; quarterly, 
on occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 1,058,432.
