Title of the Collections: Project/Performance Site Location(s), Project Abstract, and Key Contacts forms.

Type of Collection: Revision.

OMB No. 4040–0010.

Abstract: The Project/Performance Site Location(s), Project Abstract, and Key Contacts forms provide the Federal grant-making agencies an alternative to the Standard Form 424 data set and form. Agencies may use Project/Performance Site Location(s), Project Abstract, and Key Contacts forms for grant programs not required to collect all the data that is required on the SF–424 core data set and form.

Type of respondent: Project/Performance Site Location(s), Project Abstract, and Key Contacts forms are used by organizations to apply for Federal financial assistance in the form of grants. This form is submitted to the Federal grant-making agencies for evaluation and review. Previously, 26 Federal grant-making entities were using this information collection. This information collection will now be utilized by 51 Federal grant-making agencies and additional grant-making entities. To improve the transparency of reading and enhance user-friendliness of the supporting statement A, language modifications were implemented within sections 3 through 16. For section 14, Cost to the Federal Government was adjusted to the 2023 base general schedule. Grants.gov is requesting a revision of this collection to allow for data reporting and publication by agencies requesting to use the common form. The information collection (IC) expires on November 30, 2025. Grants.gov seeks a three-year clearance of these collections.
