Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Financial Status Reporting Form (SF-269) with Supplemental 
Form (ADD-02) for Developmental Disabilities Council Program.
    OMB No.: 0980-0212.
    Description: Developmental Disabilities Council Program funds are 
awarded contingent on fiscal requirements in Part B of the 
Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The SF-
269, mandated in the revised OMB Circular A-102, provides no breakouts 
necessary for proper stewardship. The proposed alternative would 
breakout the necessary information, but would do so in a consolidated 
manner that makes reporting easier. It will allow proactive compliance 
monitoring by the Government to catch problems early.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
