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. 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.

There is an adjustment increase
in both the number of respondents and the number of burden hours
estimated in this collection. The number of respondents for this
collection is 8,078 compared to the current inventory for this
collection of 5400. The burden hours for this collection total 2666
compared to the current inventory of 1782 burden hours. Due to a
increase in funding to the Department’s discretionary grant
programs there was a increase in the number of discretionary grant
applications received and an adjustment to an increase in burden
hours of 884.
