the application is required to obtain or retain sponsorship.

on the Project Grant Application received on or before August 30, 1996.

Comments are particularly invited which--

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,

including whether the information will have practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of

the proposed collection of information including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those

who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic

submissions of responses.

(5) Assess how well the existing Grant Application collects

appropriate information to allow agency decision-makers to fully assess

applicant capabilities and plans for quality sponsorship and ability to

program for community impacts.
