Title: General Administrative
Requirements for Assistance Programs.
Abstract: The information is collected
from applicants/recipients of EPA
assistance to monitor adherence to the
programmatic and administrative
requirements of the Agency’s financial
assistance program. It is used to make
awards, pay recipients, and collect
information on how Federal funds are
being spent. EPA needs this information
to meet its Federal stewardship
responsibilities. This ICR renewal
requests authorization for the collection
of information under EPA’s General
Regulation for Assistance Programs,
which establishes minimum
management requirements for all
recipients of EPA grants or cooperative
agreements (assistance agreements).
Recipients must respond to these
information requests to obtain and/or
retain a benefit (Federal funds). 40 CFR
part 30, ‘‘Grants and Agreements with
Institutions of Higher Education,
Hospitals and Other Non-profit
Organizations,’’ includes the
management requirements for potential
grantees from non-profit organizations.
40 CFR part 31, ‘‘Uniform
Administrative Requirements for Grants
and Cooperative Agreements to State,
tribal and local governments,’’ includes
the management responsibilities for
potential State and local government
grantees. These regulations include only
those provisions mandated by statute,
required by OMB Circulars, or added by
EPA to ensure sound and effective
financial assistance management. The
OMB 83–I Form associated with this
ICR combines all of these requirements
under OMB Control Number 2030–0020.
The information required by these
regulations will be used by EPA award
VerDate jul<14>2003 17:15 Jul 18, 2005 Jkt 205001
officials to make assistance awards and
assistance payments and to verify that
the recipient is using Federal funds
appropriately to comply with OMB
Circulars A–21, A–87, A–102, A–110,
A–122, A–128, and A–133, which set
forth the pre-award, post-award, and
after-the-grant requirements. An agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for
EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed
in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Burden Statement: The annual
reporting burden for this collection is
estimated to average 33 hours per
application. The estimated annual
number of respondents is 5,350. The
estimated total annual burden hours on
respondents is 176,569 hours. The
frequency of collection is as required.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
