SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: U.S. Department of Education Supplemental 
Information for the SF-424 Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1894-0007.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8,078.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 2,666.
    Abstract: The U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information 
form for the SF-424 is used together with the SF-424, Application for 
Federal Assistance. Several years ago ED made a decision to switch from 
its previously cleared form, the Application for Federal Education 
Assistance or ED 424 (1890-0017) collection (now 1894-0007). ED made a 
policy decision to switch to the SF-424 in keeping with Federal-wide 
forms standardization and streamlining efforts, especially with 
widespread agency use of Grants.gov.
    There were several data elements/questions on the ED 424 that were 
required for ED applicants that were not included on the SF-424. 
Therefore, ED put these questions that were already cleared as part of 
the 1890-0017

collection (now 1894-0007) on a form entitled the, U.S. Department of 
Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424.
    The questions on this form deal with the following areas: Project 
Director identifying and contact information; Novice Applicants; and 
Human Subjects Research. The ED supplemental information form could be 
used with any of the SF-424 forms in the SF-424 forms family, as 
applicable.
