A uniform grant application package for non-entitlement discretionary grant programs is needed to evaluate and rank applicants and protect the integrity of the grantee selection process.
This is a revision with change to the currently approved information collection. The current OMB inventory for this collection is 472,071 burden hours and 1,500,000 annual responses over a three-year period and 314,714 total annual responses remaining and 1,036,532 total annual burden hours remaining for future ICR submissions. With this approval of the primary package, FNS is seeking 463,468 burden hours (315,797 pre-award; 146,495 post-award reporting and 1,175 recordkeeping burden hours) and 59,296 total annual responses (7,066 pre-award, total annual responses for reporting; 5,223 post award total annual responses for reporting and 47,007 total annual responses for recordkeeping).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
