Title: Financial Status Reporting Form for State Councils on Developmental Disabilities Program.
OMB No.: 0980-0212.
Description: For the program of the State Councils on Developmental Disabilities, funds are awarded to State agencies contingent on fiscal requirements in subtitle B of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act. The SF-269, ordinarily mandated in the revised OMB Circular A-102, provides no accounting breakouts necessary for proper stewardship. Consequently, the proposed streamlined form will substitute for the SF-269 and will allow compliance monitoring and proactive compliance maintenance and technical assistance.
Respondents: State Councils and Designated State Agencies.
| Instrument | Number of respondents | Number of responses per respondent | Average burden hours per response | Total burden hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial Status Reporting Form for State Councils on Developmental Disabilities Program | 55 | 3 | 5.10 | 841.50 |
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 841.50.
