SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose

    GSA, on behalf of the Grants Policy Committee, is issuing a new 
information collection requirement regarding reporting personal 
tangible property. The new standard form, the Tangible Personal 
Property Report (SF-428) is available on OMB's main Web page at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants_standard_report_forms/.

B. Comments

    One comment requested clarification as to whether the new report 
would take precedence over specific reporting requirements in the 
provisions of existing awards. The response in 73 FR 67175, November 
13, 2008 clarified that the Tangible Personal Property Report will 
replace any agency unique forms currently in use, but it does not 
create any new reporting requirements. One comment requested 
clarification of the instructions for annual property reporting. The 
instructions were revised to clarify that annual reporting is required 
only for Federally owned property. One comment suggested renaming the 
form to more easily distinguish the attachments. A letter designation 
was added to the attachments.

C. Burden Estimates

    The burden estimate below is for the following agencies: DOE, EPA, 
DOD, SSA, IMLS, DOC, DHS, HHS OPDIVs, HUD, NEA, NEH, ED, VA.
    Estimated number of respondents: 14,666.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 33,346.5.
