Abstract: 4040-0005 is an OMB-approved collection. This information collection is used by more than 2 Federal grant-making entities, but not by HHS. Therefore, burden hours are not reported for HHS. Since this IC is used by more than 2 Federal grant-making entities, Grants.gov seeks to assign this as a common form. This IC expires on July 31, 2016. We are requesting a three-year clearance for 4040-0005 and that the form be designated as a common forms.
