(EPA’s) and the Administration’s 

commitment to achieving 

environmental justice and embedding 

environmental justice into Agency 

programs, EPA released the Thriving 

Communities Grantmaking Program 

(TCGM) funding opportunity. The 

Thriving Communities Grantmaking 

program is a reimagining of the longstanding Environmental Justice (EJ) 

Small Grants Program specifically 

designed to address the needs of 

underserved communities and 

marginalized groups through the 

provision of direct funding. Historically, 

the Agency has managed the EJ Small 

Grants directly, moving forward EPA 

plans to award 11+ cooperative 

agreement(s) to pass-through entities 

(referred to as Grantmakers) in 

collaboration with EPA to design and 

build their own processes to receive and 

evaluate competitive community project 

applications. This competitive 

subawards program called EJ Thriving 

Communities Subgrants will fund the 

initial development of community led 

environmental justice projects. The 

pass-through model removes the 

requirement of applying through the 

federal grants process and decreases the 

amount of time it takes to award federal 

funds. With this Information Collection 

Request (ICR), EPA seeks authorization 

to collect information to track progress 

made by the 11+ Grantmakers and their 

partnerships. Collection of this 

information enables EPA to assess and 

manage the TCGM Program, which 

ensures responsible stewardship of 

public funds; rigorous evidence-based 

learning and improvement; and 

transparent accountability to the 

American public. This ICR also requests 

authorization for the Grantmakers to 

collect input and insights from 

communities who seek to obtain 

subawards via the Thriving 

Communities Subgrant program, as well 

as stakeholders who have valuable 

experience and expertise in community 

engagement and empowerment. These 

information collections will enable the 

Grantmakers and their partners to 

document local priorities, needs, and 

norms to ensure that they develop 

useful and relevant outreach efforts and 

subgrant opportunities regionally and 

nationwide. Feedback about the 

accessibility and effectiveness of the 

subgrant opportunities will enable the 

Grantmakers to conduct selfassessments of their work and identify 

best practices and areas for 

improvement. Furthermore, each 

Grantmaker will offer specific 

application standards for a competitive 

community application for subaward 

funding. Lastly, this ICR requests 

authorization for the Grantmakers to 

collect information from subrecipients, 

in order to track progress made in their 

funded projects. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: To be 

determined. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory for grant recipients as per 

reporting requirements included in EPA 

regulations 2 CFR parts 200 and 1500, 

and voluntary for public outreach 

information collections via surveys and 

focus groups. 

Estimated number of respondents: To 

be determined. This data will be 

available for the next public review 

period. 

Frequency of response: To be 

determined. This data will be available 

for the next public review period. 

Total estimated burden: To be 

determined. This data will be available 

for the next public review period. 

Total estimated cost: To be 

determined. This data will be available 

for the next public review period. 

Changes in the Estimates: This is a 

new collection; therefore there is no 

change in burden.

BILLING CODE 6700–01–P 

FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS 

AUTHORITY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Federal Labor Relations 

Authority. 

ACTION: Notice of a new system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, the Federal Labor 

Relations Authority (FLRA) is issuing 

public notice of an intent to introduce 

a new system of records entitled, 

‘‘Privacy Act Requests and Appeals.’’ 

This notice publishes details of the new 

system as set forth below. 

DATES: This notice action shall be 

applicable immediately, which will 

become effective February 7, 2024. 

Comments will be accepted on or 

before: February 7, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

which must include the caption ‘‘SORN 

Notice (Privacy Act),’’ by one of the 

following methods: 

Email: SolMail@flra.gov. Include 

‘‘SORN Notice (Privacy Act)’’ in the 

subject line of the message. 

Mail: Thomas Tso, Senior Agency 

Official for Privacy, Federal Labor 

Relations Authority, 1400 K Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20424–0001. 

Instructions: Do not mail written 

comments if they have been submitted 

via email. Interested persons who mail 

written comments must submit an 

original and 4 copies of each written 

comment, with any enclosures, on 81⁄2

x 11 inch paper. Do not deliver 

comments by hand. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have any questions, please contact 

Thomas Tso, Solicitor, Senior Agency 

Official for Privacy, at (771) 444–5779. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974 requires that each 

agency publish notice of all the systems 

of records that it maintains. This 

document proposes the introduction of 

a new system of records. The ‘‘Freedom 

of Information Act Request and Appeal 

Files’’ is the system that the FLRA uses 

to provide the public with a single 

location to submit and track Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) and related 

requests and appeals filed with the 

FLRA. The FLRA had used this single 

system to track Privacy Act requests, 

which are often combined with FOIA 

requests, see 82 FR 49813 (October 27, 

2017). Other agencies have also treated 

Privacy Act and FOIA requests as a 

singular system of records. E.g., 

Department of Treasury, Freedom of 

Information Act/Privacy Act Request 

Records, 81 FR 78266 (Nov. 7, 2016). 

The FLRA now proposes a new 

system of records, titled ‘‘Privacy Act 

Requests and Appeals,’’ to separate 

Privacy Act request records as an 

independent system of records. 

Pursuant to the Creating Advanced 

Streamlined Electronic Services for 

Constituents Act of 2019 (‘‘CASES 

Act’’), Public Law 116–50, 133 Stat. 

1073 (2019), the Office of Management 

and Budget’s M–21–04, ‘‘Modernizing 

Access to and Consent for Disclosure of 

Records Subject to the Privacy Act,’’ 

asks agencies to ‘‘provide a digital 

service option to ensure that individuals 

have the ability to digitally request 

access to or consent to disclosure of 

their records’’ covered by the Privacy 

Act. M–21–04 also asks agencies to 

‘‘review SORNs governing systems of 

records that include Privacy Act 

requests for access to and consent to 

disclosure of records, and, if necessary, 

modify those SORNs, as well.’’ The 

FLRA determined that a separate system
