Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

request for approval of a new collection. 

An agency 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. 

This notice allows 60 days for public 

comments. Supporting documents, 

which explain in detail the information 

that the EPA will be collecting, are 

available in the public docket for this 

ICR. The docket can be viewed online 

at www.regulations.gov or in person at 

the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 

Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, 

Washington, DC. The telephone number 

for the Docket Center is 202–566–1744. 

For additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate forms of 

information technology. EPA will 

consider the comments received and 

amend the ICR as appropriate. The final 

ICR package will then be submitted to 

OMB for review and approval. At that 

time, EPA will issue another Federal 

Register notice to announce the 

submission of the ICR to OMB and the 

opportunity to submit additional 

comments to OMB. 

Abstract: This ICR describes the 

burden of activities for the collection of 

information from those organizations 

and entities that apply for cooperative 

agreements from EPA under the 

authority of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) as amended by the 

Brownfields Utilization, Investment, 

and Local Development (BUILD) Act 

(Pub. L. 115–141). Subtitle A of 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
87368 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 212 / Friday, November 1, 2024 / Notices 

CERCLA, as amended, authorizes EPA 

to award grants or cooperative 

agreements to states, Tribal Nations, 

local governments, and other eligible 

entities to support the assessment and 

cleanup of brownfields properties, and 

subtitle C authorizes a noncompetitive 

$50 million program to establish and 

enhance state and Tribal response 

programs. The authority for these 

financial assistance programs is codified 

at CERCLA 104(k) and CERCLA 128(a) 

respectively. Congress appropriates 

specific amounts of funding for both 

programs in EPA’s State and Tribal 

Assistance Grant account. 

With this ICR, EPA’s Office of 

Brownfields and Land Revitalization 

(OBLR) seeks authorization to collect 

information from grant applicants and 

noncompetitive funding requesters 

using several standard instruments 

(templates) that will streamline the data 

collection effort and improve the 

quality, efficiency, and fairness of the 

competitions and allocations. EPA 

estimates that all respondents who 

voluntarily respond to this information 

collection by electing to participate in 

the Brownfields Program have 

determined that the expected benefits of 

participation outweigh any burden 

associated with preparing the response. 

This new ICR provides the burden 

estimate for activities associated with 

optional applicant use instruments, and 

EPA review of the submissions; and 

seeks approval for seven standard 

application/request templates. EPA’s 

goal in providing these templates is to 

provide an example for applicants and 

requesters of how the information in an 

application or funding request can be 

presented. Applicants and requesters 

who choose not to use the sample 

formats for providing information will 

not be punished. However, when the 

information in an application or funding 

request is presented using a standard 

format, EPA staff can review 

applications and funding requests more 

efficiently. 

Form Numbers: OMB Control 

Number: 2050–NEW; EPA ICR Number: 

7789.01. 

Respondents/affected entities: State/ 

local/tribal governments; Non-Profits. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

required to obtain or retain a benefit (2 

CFR part 1500). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,215 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annually. 

Total estimated burden: 7,865 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,060,540.53 

(per year), which includes $0 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

increase or decrease of hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden because 

this is a new ICR being submitted to 

OMB.
