the public health emergency with 

respect to the Coronavirus Disease 

(COVID–19). 

The current information collection is 

being used to solicit information related 

to: 

• Annual performance reports 

submitted by CPF recipients that are 

States, Territories, or freely associated 

states. This report is being renewed 

without changes; 

• Quarterly project and expenditure 

reports submitted by CPF recipients that 

are States, Territories, or freely 

associated states. The requirements for 

this report are being amended as 

described below; and 

• Annual project and expenditure 

reports submitted by CPF recipients that 

are Tribal governments. The 

requirements for this report are being 

amended as described below. 

The Compliance and Reporting 

Guidance for States, Territories, and 

Freely Associated States, and the 

Compliance and Reporting Guidance for 

Tribal Governments provide recipients 

with information needed to fulfill their 

reporting requirements and compliance 

obligations. Data is submitted to 

Treasury using a web-based portal and 

in accordance with specific data 

requirements. 

Project and expenditure reports must 

be submitted quarterly for the duration 

of the period of performance for States, 

Territories, and freely associated states, 

and annually for the duration of the 

period of performance for Tribal 

governments. The project and 

expenditure report contains a set of 

standardized questions to ascertain the 

recipient’s use of funds received as of 

the date of reporting, as well as the 

status of individual projects. Treasury 

will make the data submitted by 

recipients publicly available. 

Performance reports must be 

submitted annually for recipients that 

are States, Territories, and freely 

associated states for the duration of the 

period of performance. These 

performance reports contain detailed 

performance data corresponding to the 

‘‘Programs’’ specified previously in a 

recipient’s Grant Plan. This will include 

information on efforts to improve equity 

and engage communities. The 

performance report is largely freely 

written text, and while there are certain 

data and topics that recipients must 

cover in the performance report, it is 

mostly free-form written content. 

Recipients are required to publish the 

performance report on their website and 

provide the reports to Treasury. 

Proposed Changes: On June 2, 2023, 

Treasury received approval for a 

revision to this information collection 

on an emergency processing basis. 

Treasury presently seeks non-emergency 

approval for the same revision in 

accordance with normal PRA clearance 

procedures. The revision is to add two 

new fields for recipients to report on 

Federal Communications Commission 

(FCC) identifiers in order to uniquely 

identify the precise location of CPF 

funded broadband projects. The revision 

is the same for States, Territories, Freely 

Associated States, and Tribal recipients. 

Treasury expects that recipients have 

these FCC identifiers on-hand, and the 

estimated burden remains unchanged. 

1. Provider ID. The Provider ID is the 

identifier that the FCC assigns to every 

internet Service Provider (ISP). Any 

entity undertaking a broadband 

infrastructure project already has this 

number. 

2. Fabric ID. The Fabric ID is assigned 

to every ‘‘broadband serviceable 

location’’ in the ‘‘fabric’’, a database of 

all serviceable locations. For example, 

an apartment building which is 

broadband serviceable will have a 

unique Fabric ID assigned by the FCC. 

CPF recipients who are completing 

broadband projects are required to 

provide the Fabric IDs for the locations 

that they are serving. 

Background Justifying the Changes. 

Section 60105 of the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117– 

58) required the FCC to establish an 

online mapping tool with broadband 

locations funded by Federal agencies. 

As a result, CPF reporting guidance has 

been updated. 

Form: Compliance and Reporting 

Guidance for States, Territories, and 

Freely Associated States; Compliance 

and Reporting Guidance for Tribal 

Governments. 

Affected Public: State, Territorial, 

Freely Associated State, and Tribal

Estimated Number of Respondents:

expenditure reports, and 1 time per year 

for performance reports; Tribal

Estimated Total Number of Annual 

Responses: 845.

hours for State project and expenditure 

reports. 80 hours for State performance 

reports. 50 hours for Tribal annual 

reports.

Hours: 30,352.
