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.
