SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Forms: Grant Agreement and

Amendment to Grant Agreement.

OMB Approval Number: 1018–0049

expires 8/31/2000. The Service 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.

Description and Use: The Service

administers several grant programs

authorized by the Federal Aid in

Wildlife Restoration Act, the Federal

Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act, the

Anadromous Fish Conservation Act, the

Endangered Species Act, the Clean

Vessel Act, the Sportfishing and Boating

Safety Act, and the Coastal Wetlands

Planning, Protection and Restoration

Act. The Service uses the information

collected to make awards within these

grant programs. This includes

determining if the estimated cost is

reasonable, the cost sharing is consistent

with the applicable program statues,

and whether sufficient Federal funds are

available for obligation. The State or

other grantee uses the form to request

funds and identify proposed cost

sharing. Grantees initiate an

Amendment to Grant Agreement to

request a change to a previously

approved Grant Agreement. The Service

uses the Amendment to Grant

Agreement to revise a previous funding

obligation or otherwise document the

approval of a revision.

These forms were previously

approved under the referenced OMB

control number. The new forms are

modified slightly to lessen the burden

on the public, and these changes also

make them easier for the Service to use.

Service Form Numbers: 3–1552 (Grant

Agreement) and 3–1591 (Amendment to

Grant Agreement).

Supplemental Information: The

service plans to submit the following

information collection requirements to

OMB for review and extension approval

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995, Public Law 104–13. Comments are

invited on (1) whether the collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s

estimates of burden of the collection of

information; (3) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and, (4)

ways to minimize the burden of

respondents, including through the use

of appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

Frequency: Generally annually.

Description of Respondents: State,

territorial (the Commonwealth of Puerto
