Abstract: To meet the goals and 

objectives that demonstrate the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(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 

funding opportunity. The program will 

provide about $600 million in 11 

cooperative agreements funding to 

‘‘Grantmakers’’ who will function as 

pass-through entities for the 

Environmental Justice Thriving 

Communities Subgrants (2 CFR parts 

200 and 1500). 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. The Grantmakers 

will collaborate with EPA to design and 

build their own processes to receive and 

evaluate applications to fund the initial 

development of community-led 

environmental justice projects. With 

this Information Collection Request 

(ICR), EPA seeks emergency clearance 

for three Grantmakers to solicit 

applications for their first round of 

subgrants to be launched in September 

2024. If the information requested under 

this emergency clearance were not 

collected, EPA would have no 

mechanism for selecting and 

distributing subaward grants. Without 

this activity, the central programmatic 

objectives of the Environmental Justice 

Thriving Communities Grantmaking 

Program cannot be met. The six-month 

emergency clearance period will cover 

the first round of subaward applications 

that will be solicited by three 

Grantmakers in September 2024. 

Subsequent rounds of applications for 

these three Grantmakers will be 

authorized via a Standard ICR package 

for the Grantmaking Program that will 

be submitted for review via the 

customer ICR approval process. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents will include entities who 

are eligible to receive subawards, 

including community based nonprofit 

organizations, Puerto Rico, U.S. 

Territories and Freely Associated States, 

Native American organizations, local 

governments, and institutions of higher 

education. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,155 (total). 

Frequency of response: Once. 

Total estimated burden: 23,975 hours 

(total). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,286,331 

(total), which includes $43,989 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Requested approval date: September 

16, 2024.
