12680 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Notices 

Title and OMB Number: EAC Progress 

Report; 86 FR 73747 (Page 73747– 

73748, Document Number: 2021–28199) 

Purpose 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on December 28, 2021 and 

allowed 60 days for public comment. In 

compliance with Section 3507(a)(1)(D) 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

of 1995, EAC has submitted to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) a 

request for review and approval of the 

information collection listed below. The 

purpose of this notice is to allow an 

additional 30 days for public comment 

from all interested individuals and 

organizations. 

The EAC Office of Grants 

Management (EAC/OGM) is responsible 

for distributing, monitoring and 

providing technical assistance to states 

and grantees on the use of federal funds. 

EAC/OGM also reports on how the 

funds are spent to Congress, negotiates 

indirect cost rates with grantees, and 

resolves audit findings on the use of 

HAVA funds. 

The EAC Progress Report has been 

developed for both interim and final 

progress reports for grants issued under 

HAVA authority. This revised format 

builds upon that report for the various 

grant awards given by EAC and provides 

terminology clarification. The Progress 

Report will directly benefit award 

recipients by making it easier for them 

to administer federal grant and 

cooperative agreement programs 

through standardization of the types of 

information required in progress 

reports—thereby reducing their 

administrative effort and costs. 

Public Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the EAC to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Office of 

Grants Management. 

• Evaluate the accuracy of our 

estimate of burden for this proposed 

collection, including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used. 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Minimize the reporting burden on 

those who are to respond, including the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Please note that comments submitted 

in response to this Notice are public 

record. Before including any detailed 

personal information, you should be 

aware that your comments as submitted, 

including your personal information, 

will be available for public review. OMB 

approval is requested for 3 years. 

Respondents: All EAC grantees.
