Abstract: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) awards 

billions of dollars in funding for grants 

and other assistance agreements, with 

recipients ranging from small non-profit 

organizations to large state governments. 

With this Information Collection 

Request (ICR), EPA seeks authorization 

to collect information to track progress 

by the Agency’s assistance programs. 

Collection of this information from 

award recipients enables EPA to assess 

and manage its assistance programs, 

which in turn ensures responsible 

stewardship of public funds; rigorous 

evidence-based learning and 

improvement; and transparent 

accountability to the American public. 

The information requested under this 

ICR will be collected via performance 

report forms, including work plans, 

interim reports, and final reports. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Recipients of financial assistance 

awards from EPA. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory for grant recipients as per 

reporting requirements included in EPA 

regulations 2 CFR parts 200 and 1500. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,662 (per year). 

Frequency of response: Varies. 

Total estimated burden: 87,088 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $7,071,495.82 

(per year), there are no annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: This is a 

new collection, and so does not involve 

any program changes or burden 

adjustments.

emissions model for transportation 

conformity determinations outside of 

California, both in new regional 

emissions analyses and in new hot-spot 

analyses. 

DATES: EPA’s announcement of the 

MOVES5 emissions model for SIPs and 

transportation conformity 

determinations in states other than 

California is effective December 11, 

2024. This announcement starts a twoyear transportation conformity grace 

period that ends on December 11, 2026. 

After this date, MOVES5 will need to be 

used as the latest EPA emissions model 

for new transportation conformity 

analyses outside of California in both 

regional emissions analyses and in hotspot analysis.

technical model questions regarding the 

official release or use of MOVES5,
