Information Collection Request Title: 

HRSA Environmental Information and 

Documentation, OMB Number: 0915– 

0324—Revision. 

Abstract: HRSA proposes revisions to 

the Environmental Information and 

Documentation (EID) checklist, which 

consists of information that the agency 

is required to obtain to comply with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA). NEPA establishes the 

federal government’s national policy for 

protection of the environment. The EID 

checklist must be completed and 

submitted by applicants for HRSA funds 

that plan to engage in construction or 

other projects that would potentially 

impact the environment. HRSA utilizes 

the checklist to ensure that decisionmaking processes are consistent with 

NEPA. The revisions will update some 

of the language in the checklist. For 

example, to better align with 45 CFR 

part 75, HRSA proposes to change the 

term ‘‘grant’’ to ‘‘award’’ and ‘‘grantee’’ 

to ‘‘award recipient.’’ 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: Applicants for HRSA funds 

must provide information and assurance 

of compliance with NEPA on the EID 

checklist. This information is reviewed 

during the pre-award stage. 

Likely Respondents: HRSA applicants 

applying for federal construction grants 

and cooperative agreements. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are 

summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments 

on (1) the necessity and utility of the 

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and (4) the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden.
