Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

    Title: Uniform Project Description (UPD) Program Narrative Format 
for Discretionary Grant Application Forms.
    OMB No.: 0970-0139.
    Description: The proposed information collection would renew the 
Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Uniform Project 
Description (UPD). The UPD provides a uniform grant application format 
for applicants to submit project information in response to ACF 
discretionary funding opportunity announcements. ACF uses this 
information, along with other OMB-approved information collections 
(Standard Forms), to evaluate and rank applications. Use of the UPD 
helps to protect the integrity of ACF's award selection process. All 
ACF discretionary grant programs are required to use this application 
format. An ACF application consists of general information and 
instructions; the Standard Form 424 series, which requests basic 
information, budget information, and assurances; the Project 
Description that requests the applicant to describe how program 
objectives will be achieved; a rationale for the project's budgeted 
costs; and other assurances and certifications. Guidance for the 
content of information requested in the Project Description is based in 
45 CFR 75.203, 75.204, and 45 CFR part 75, Appendix I.
    Respondents: Applicants to ACF Discretionary Funding Opportunity 
Announcements.

title of the information collection.

collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
