E9-8123. Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Title: Financial Status Reporting Form for State Councils on Developmental Disabilities Program.

OMB No.: 0980-0212.

Description: For the program of the State Councils on Developmental Disabilities, funds are awarded to State agencies contingent on fiscal requirements in subtitle B of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The SF-269, ordinarily mandated in the revised OMB Circular A-102, provides no accounting breakouts necessary for proper stewardship. Consequently, the proposed streamlined form will substitute for the SF-269 and will allow compliance monitoring and proactive compliance maintenance and technical assistance.

Respondents: State Councils and Designated State Agencies.
