SUMMARY: In accordance with the Clean

decree in Center for Community Action 

and Environmental Justice v. U.S. EPA, 

et al., No. 3:24–cv–05042–EMC. On 

August 12, 2024, Plaintiff Center for 

Community Action and Environmental 

Justice filed a complaint in the United 

States District Court for the Northern 

District of California San Francisco 

Division, alleging that the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

failed to perform certain nondiscretionary duties in accordance with 

the Act to take final action on a state 

implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the State of California. 

EPA is providing notice of this proposed 

consent decree, which would resolve all 

claims in the case by establishing a 

deadline for EPA to take final action as 

specified in the decree. 

DATES: Written comments on the 

proposed consent decree must be 

received by January 27, 2025 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OGC–2024–0601, online at https://

for submitting comments. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the Docket ID number for 

this action. Comments received may be

the CAA, for a period of thirty (30) days

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, the Environmental Justice 

Thriving Communities Grantmaking 

Program provides 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). Each Grantmaker will 

collaborate with EPA to design and 

build their own processes to receive and 

evaluate applications to fund the 

development of community-led 

environmental justice projects. With 

this Information Collection Request 

(ICR), EPA seeks approval for the 

Grantmakers to (a) solicit application for 

subawards and (b) to collect reports 

from recipients of subawards to track 

their progress. Collection of this 

information is essential for Grantmakers 

to select and distribute the subawards, 

and to assess and manage the funded 

projects, which ensures responsible 

stewardship of public funds; rigorous 

evidence-based learning and 

improvement; and transparent 

accountability to the American public. 

This ICR also requests approval for the 

Grantmakers to collect input and 

insights from communities who seek to 

obtain technical assistance services, as 

well as stakeholders who have valuable 

experience and expertise in community 

engagement and empowerment. These 

information collections via (c) surveys 

and (d) focus groups will enable the 

Centers to document local priorities, 

needs, and norms to ensure that they 

develop useful and relevant technical 

assistance and training services. 

Furthermore, feedback about these 

services will enable the Centers to 

conduct self-assessments to identify best 

practices and areas for improvement. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Recipients of financial assistance 

subawards from Grantmakers, 

community members, stakeholders. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory for recipients of subawards 

to obtain or retain a benefit (2 CFR parts 

200 and 1500). Voluntary for public 

outreach information collection via 

surveys and focus groups. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

295,638 (per year). 

Frequency of response: Varies.
