provides the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to

information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting
burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's

proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department is especially interested in public comment addressing
the following issues: (1) is this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4)
how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department
minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, including
through the use of information technology. Please note that written
comments received in response to this notice will be considered public
records.
Title of Collection: U.S. Department of Education Supplemental
Information for the SF-424 Form.
OMB Control Number: 1894-0007.
Type of Review: An extension without change of a currently approved
ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5,976.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,271.
Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information
form for the SF-424 is used together with the SF-424, Application for
Federal Assistance. Several years ago ED made a decision to switch from
the Application for Federal Education Assistance or ED 424 (1890-0017)
collection (now 1894-0007) to the SF-424, in order to adhere with
Federal-wide forms standardization and streamlining efforts, especially
with widespread agency use of <a href="http://Grants.gov">Grants.gov</a>. There were several data
elements/questions on the ED 424 that were required for applicants and
were not included on the SF-424. Therefore, ED put these questions that
were already cleared as part of the 1894-0007 collection on a form
entitled the, U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for
the SF-424. The questions on this form deal with the following areas:
Project Director identifying and contact information; General Education
Provision Act Section 427 Assurance; New Potential Grantee; Human
Subjects Research; and Infrastructure Programs and Build America, Buy
America Act Applicability (BABAA). The ED supplemental information form
can be used with any of the SF-424 forms in the SF-424 forms family, as
applicable.
