Some of the recipients of grants from
the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)
have proven to have limited experience with managing Federal funds.
This questionnaire is designed to identify those potential
recipients and provide appropriate training or additional
safeguards for Federal funds. Additionally, the questionnaire
serves as a pre-audit function in identifying potential
deficiencies and minimizing the risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or
mismanagement, which we use in lieu of a more costly and time
consuming formal pre-award audit.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
