    Title: Construction Grants Program under the Clean Water Act (EPA 
ICR No. 0827.04; OMB Control No. 2040-0027). This is a request for 
extension of a currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: Under the Construction Grants Program, municipalities and 
Indian Tribes may obtain grants for wastewater treatment construction 
projects. The requirements for this program are at 40 CFR part 35, 
subpart I, and Title II of the Clean Water Act. The grantees must 
submit information to EPA or delegated States, and the States that 
award construction grants must submit information to EPA. The 
information required is necessary to ensure national accountability, 
adequate public participation, fiscal and project integrity, and 
consistent management directed to achieve environmental objectives.
    EPA is currently phasing out this program and replacing it with the 
State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program under Title VI of the Clean Water 
Act. This ICR is being reviewed to cover the information requirements 
for the Construction Grants Program over the next 3 years during the 
transitional stage to the SRF Program. EPA projects that approximately 
37 grants will be issued under the Construction Grants Program over the 
next 3 years.
    Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average 13.5 hours per respondent. This 
estimate includes the time needed to review instructions, search 
existing data sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and 
complete and review the collection of information.
    Respondents: States, Territories, Municipalities, Indian Tribes.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 217.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 2,929 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspects 
of the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to the following addresses. Please refer to EPA ICR No. 0827.04
