# §200.207. Standard application requirements.

- (a) **Paperwork clearances.** The Federal agency may only use application information collections approved by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and OMB's implementing regulations in [5 CFR part 1320](/cfr/5/part1320.md) and in alignment with OMB-approved, government-wide data elements available from the OMB-designated standards lead. Examples of application information collections approved by OMB include the Standard Forms 424 (SF-424), which is available on Grants.gov, and the Biographical Sketch Common Form (OMB Control Number 3145-0279), which Federal agencies should use to collect biographical sketches and other disclosure information from award applicants. OMB will authorize additional information collections only on a limited basis and consistent with these requirements.
- (b) **Information collection.** The Federal agency may inform applicants that they do not need to provide certain information already being collected through other means.
