Agency Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements Under Emergency 
Review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

    Title: ACF Uniform Discretionary Grant Application Form.
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: ACF has more than thirty discretionary grant programs. 
The proposed information collection form would be a uniform 
discretionary application form usable for all of these 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 ACF discretionary grant programs would be eligible but not 
required to use this application form. The application consists of 
general information and instructions; the Standard Form 424 series that 
requests basic information, budget information and assurances; the 
program application requesting the applicant to describe how these 
objectives will be reached; and certifications. Guidance for the 
content of information requested in the program application is found in 
OMB Circulars A-102 and A-110.
Respondents; Not-for-profit institutions, State, Local and Tribal Govt.
