Abstract:
The UPD is used by ACF to solicit project description information used in discretionary grant program announcements to evaluate and rank applications. The UPD is an integral part of the application that employs a menu design allowing program offices to limit their request for information to only that which is relevant for a particular program. A menu approach minimizes hourly burden and Federal Register publication costs.

Short Statement:
There are adjustments resulting from revisions in estimating the number of responses. Program changes have occurred because of the addition of a program and revisions to UPD content. The cumulative effect has been a reduction on responses and hourly burden. UPD content is being revised by adding a new text option for PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE AND/OR CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Additionally, the former text option STAFF AND POSITION DATA has now been incorporated into a re-named text option ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY (formerly ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILES). The text option TOTAL DIRECT CHARGES, TOTAL INDIRECT CHARGES, TOTAL PROJECT COSTS was removed in its entirety. Revisions to the UPD are annotated at Attachment B, and the final UPD with internal instructions at Attachment C.
