Proposed Projects

    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.
